“Dual Transition Metal Catalyzed C-C and C-heteroatom Cross-Coupling: Sustainable Approach towards the Synthesis of Bioactive Molecules” | Dr. Debasish Kundu, Assistant Professor in Chemistry (WBES) | Department of Science Technology & Biotechnology, Govt. of West Bengal (WBDST) | The project is focused on developing green catalytic systems to perform carbon -heteroatom cross coupling reactions with aryl and heteroaryl counterparts for the synthesis of biologically important moieties. Organosulfides, selenides and tellurides have been synthesized by newly developped Co/Cu and Ni/Cu catalytic systems. |

“Interaction of biflavonoid with alpha synuclein and it’s potential implication in aggregation of amyloid” | Dr. Animesh Mondal, Assistant Professor in Zoology (WBES) | Department of Science Technology & Biotechnology, Govt. of West Bengal (WBDST) | The main objective of the project is to express alpha synuclein protein and characterization of alpha synuclein species during its course of aggregation. Synthesis of biflavonoids and its interactions with alpha synuclein to assess the anti aggregation property. |
