Rate My Professor Nikhil Jana

A chemist by training, Professor Jana's research lies at the interface of chemistry, biology, and materials science, focusing on the development of inorganic and organic nanoparticles transformed into nanobioconjugates for biomedical applications. His key research interests encompass cell-nanoparticle interactions, the influence of nanoparticle multivalency on endocytosis, sub-cellular imaging probes, and nanoprobes designed to inhibit protein aggregation in the brain associated with neurodegenerative diseases. He has published over 190 journal articles, including highly cited works such as 'Direct Cellular Delivery of Exogenous Genetic Material and Protein via Colloidal Nano-Assemblies with Biopolymer' (2022), 'Piezoelectric Nanoparticles for Ultrasound-Based Wireless Therapies' (2022), and 'Fluorescent carbon dots as intracellular imaging probes' (2020). He is the author of books including 'Colloidal Nanoparticles: Functionalization for Biomedical Applications' and 'An Overall Account of Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy'. Professor Jana received the Materials Research Society of India (MRSI) Medal in 2015 and has been recognized as one of the top 2% scientists globally by Stanford University rankings. He serves on the Editorial Advisory Board of ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces and as an Associate Editor for ACS Applied Nano Materials, contributing significantly to the field of nanomedicine through innovations in drug delivery, cell therapy, imaging, and reactive oxygen species generation for therapeutic purposes.
