Biography

Born in the Indian state of West Bengal, Sanjib Senapati secured his master's degree from the University of Calcutta and did his doctoral studies at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur which earned him a PhD. Subsequently, he joined the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) as a faculty member of the department of biotechnology and holds the position of a professor at the Bhupat and Jyoti Mehta School of Biosciences at IITM. The team led by him focuses their research in the fields of protein dynamics, green chemistry and nanoclusters. His studies have been documented by way of a number of articles and Google Scholar, an online repository of scientific articles has listed 110 of them.

The Department of Biotechnology (DBT) of the Government of India awarded Senapati the National Bioscience Award for Career Development, one of the highest Indian science awards in 2015. In 2017, he was selected for the Fulbright Scholarship program by the United States Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs for working on a project at the laboratory of Andrej Šali of the University of California, San Francisco, during 2017–18.
