Suvarn Kulkarni,
Professor
Dr Suvarn Kulkarni received his M.Sc. (1993) and Ph.D. (2001) in Organic Chemistry from University of Pune in 2001. After his Ph. D., he pursued his post-doctoral research in the laboratory of Professor Shang-Cheng Hung on chemical synthesis of glycans via one-pot protection of sugars. In 2005, he moved to University of California Davis to work with Professsor Jacquelyn Gervay-Hague and was engaged in glycosyl iodide mediated one-pot synthesis of glycolipids.
He returned to India in late 2008 and held a faculty position at IACS Kolkata prior to joining the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in 2009. His current research interests include devising newer ways for efficient chemical synthesis of complex glycoconjugates implicated in various infectious diseases as well as cancer.
Dr Suvarn was a short term Visiting Professor at Taiwan in 2014. Presently he is working as a vice president of RSC-WIS. He is recently admitted as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. He is a recipient of the CRSI Bronze medal for the year 2017 and Dr. H. C. Srivastava memorial lecture award 2016.
