About

I am Debjani Mandal, working as Assistant Professor in Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Sripat Singh College, Jiaganj. I did my M.Sc. in Biotechnology from St. Xavier's College, Kolkata, under University of Calcutta. Currently, I am working as a Co-Investigator on a project sanctioned by West Bengal Department of Science and Technology & Biotechnology (WBDST & BT) on heavy metal Bioremediation and design of Biofertilizer in our BOOST-sponsored laboratory. I have published research articles and book chapters in reputed journals with internationally acclaimed publishers (Springer Nature, Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, etc.). I predominantly, work on Isolation of bacteria from their native habitat, Biochemical characterization, Identification and functional & genetic analysis using standard Molecular Biology experiments, Scanning electron microscopy, Whole genome sequencing, etc. Our research group is constantly working on bioremediation of arsenic from contaminated soil, groundwater and wastewater. We are also working on various heavy metal resistant and plant growth promoting bacteria.
