The J.C. Bose Award was bestowed upon Dr. Sayantan Sinha by the Association of Researchers & Academicians—India for his seminal contributions to developing a novel mediated synthetic methodology for photocatalytic Glaser coupling [C(sp)-C(sp) coupling] in green solvent. The methodology is also applicable to photocatalytic bioconjugation click chemistry. Further, Dr. Sinha synthesized a novel metal-based perovskite quantum dot with interesting photophysical properties resulting in discriminative NIR-I fluorescence sensing of gram-+ve and gram-ve bacterial pathogens. This catalyst has applications in photocatalytic therapy for the treatment of MRSA infection.
Dr. Sayantan Sinha, PhD, FLS, FBSS, FARAI, MRSB is a postdoctoral researcher working under the direction of Dr. Amit Joshi in the Nanomedicine & Image-Guided Interventions Laboratory, or NIGIL, in the Marquette-MCW Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering. NIGIL specializes in fundamental investigations of near-infrared and shortwave infrared light transport in tissue, development of novel imaging and light-triggered therapeutic nanoparticles, and the integration of optical and multimodal imaging and remotely triggered nanotechnologies into clinical image-guided intervention workflows. Dr. Sinha’s research expertise lies in synthesizing organic and inorganic compounds for biomedical and photodynamic therapeutic applications. His research interests involve nanochemistry, synthetic chemistry, and nanomedicine for anticancer and antibacterial therapeutics. At NIGIL, Dr. Sinha is involved in synthesizing multiple metal-based and protein/lipid-based organic nanoparticle systems for nanozymatic, photothermal and photodynamic anti-cancer therapies, as well as light-triggered drug release for tumor microenvironment immunomodulation.
Dr. Sinha was awarded his Ph.D. in Synthetic Nanochemistry/Chemistry & Chemical Biology from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati in 2023. He has published 25 research papers in journals of international repute and holds four patents. He is a proud recipient of J.C. Bose Outstanding Academician Award 2024, STE-Young Researcher Award, Fellow of the Linnean Society (FLS) London, Fellow of the Bose Science Society (FBSS), Fellow of the Association of Researchers & Academicians (India), BRICS Young Scientist Fellow, KIIT University Medal and much more.
The J.C. Bose Award is named after the great polymath and scientist Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose and is presented in honor and recognition of academic excellence or extraordinary accomplishment in basic and medical sciences. The J.C. Bose Award is given to academicians from any field and of any age. The award is given annually.
Association of Researchers & Academicians, or ARAI, is a national, professional, and non-profit organization whose mission includes facilitating knowledge-share by promoting the coordination of research and development between researchers and academicians working in educational and research institutions across India.
