Dr. Umakanta Subudhi, Scientist-F 9938672226,   usubudhi@immt.res.in ,  

DESCRIPTION :

Born on 5 July 1982 in the village Mangarajpur, Cuttack. Dr Subudhi obtained M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Biotechnology in the year 2004 and 2010, respectively from the Utkal University, Vani Vihar. Soon after the Ph.D., Dr Subudhi started his independent research career in 2009 as Scientist-B at CSIR-Institute of Minerals & Materials Technology, Bhubaneswar and presently working in the same institute as Scientist-F (Senior Principal Scientist) in the Environment and Sustainability Department. Dr Subudhi is also working as Professor in the Faculty of Biological Sciences in the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. Prof. Subudhi is a distinguished researcher with expertise in self-assembled DNA nanomaterials and metal-macromolecular interaction.  He has indigenously explored the use of primer sequences in designing oligonucleotides for self-assembled DNA nanomaterials. With novel techniques your research group has characterized a series of branched DNA, tetrahedral DNA and polyhedral DNA nanostructures and demonstrated their therapeutic applications. The discovery of lanthanum-mediated Z-DNA expands the research proficiency of your group with zeta potential as a marker to study the sequence-specific B-to-Z DNA transition.

Prof. Subudhi has published more than 60 research articles in high impact journals and supervised 32 M.Sc. Students, 2 M.Tech. Students, 9 Doctoral Scholars and 1 Post-Doctoral Fellow.
