Dr. Sanchita Bandyopadhyay-Ghosh

Dr. Sanchita Bandyopadhyay-Ghosh is currently working as a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Manipal University Jaipur. Dr. Bandyopadhyay-Ghosh pursued her PhD from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Sheffield, UK with the prestigious 'Overseas Research Scholarship'. Before joining Sheffield, she was awarded Pre-doctoral Fellowship from K.U. Leuven, Belgium to work on an ambitious European project funded by Daimler-Chrysler and Airbus to develop new generation high-strength carbon fibre reinforced composites. During this tenure, she also joined the ‘European Postgraduate Course in Polymer and Composite Engineering’ at Leuven, jointly run by several leading European universities.

Following her PhD, she worked as a Teaching Research Fellow at Alfred University, USA. She later joined the Centre for Biocomposites and Biomaterials Processing at the University of Toronto, Canada as a Post-doctoral Research Fellow and carried out pioneering research on biofoam, nanocellulose and biocomposite biomaterials. Following her return to India, she joined Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani and later at Manipal University Jaipur.

Her current research focuses in understanding micro and nano-structure- property correlations and cell-biomaterial interface for potential application on bioengineering. Her areas of expertise include regenerative medicine, 3D bioprinting, bioceramics and bioresorbable implants. She has also been actively collaborating with eminent researchers and scientists from premier institutes in India and abroad. With a conscious effort and engagement, Dr. Sanchita Bandyopadhyay-Ghosh has secured several research grants to establish the 'Engineered Biomedical Materials Research and Innovation Centre' (EnBioMatRIC), which has successfully developed several new materials and technologies, and secured several granted patents. She not only aims to bring scientific advances to clinic, but she also aspires to integrate affordability and sustainability in the development and evolution of biomaterials, which inspired her to establish two start-up companies such as NeuvoMatIC Solutions Private Limited and Go-Green Products Private Limited.
