About

Dr. Jyotirindra Maity is driven by a profound interest in cellular and molecular biology of cancer as well as of various rare diseases. Dr. Maity is fascinated by working on translational research to shed light on possible treatment strategy. Through his research endeavors, he plans to explore sustainable approaches for generating stem cell models for bone biology research.

With expertise in stem cell research, Dr. Maity is passionate about the numerous applications of stem cells in various diseases.

Understanding basic cellular and molecular biology plays a pivotal role in disease understanding, and Dr. Maity is deeply engaged in exploring the role of autophagy during cellular differentiation and age-related diseases. Dr. Jyotirindra Maity holds his Master's degree in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology from the prestigious University of Kalyani. He has been awarded a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology on 8th December 2017 from the Department of Life Science and Biotechnology, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India. His PhD thesis focuses on the role of Werner helicase in Autophagy in aged disease model.

He has postdoc research experience for nearly 7 years in USA encompassing prestigious Texas Tech University Health Science Center (TTUHSC), Texas, and National Institutes of Health (NIH), Maryland.

Apart from his research work Dr. Maity also served as ad-hoc reviewer for many journals. He is excited about the prospect of contributing to impactful research initiatives in academia, industry, or government institutions and is committed to advancing the field of translation research science and technology through his innovative work.
