ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dr. Rupnarayan Sett (DOB 12 Oct 1961) did his Maters
in Zoology with specialization in Cytology and Molecular Genetics from the Burdwan
University of West Bengal, after which he did teaching in high schools and served
in a Hematology Research Society at Kolkata for two years. A NET qualified for
two times, he completed Ph.D. in Molecular Cell Biology from Indian Institute
of Chemical Biology (CSIR), Kolkata in 1993.
Dr. Sett joined as a Scientist with the Indian Council
of Forestry Research and Education (Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government
of India) in 1993, and is still continuing with the same parent organization.
During his tenure as yet, he served at the Rain Forest Research Institute, Jorhat,
Institute of Forest Productivity, Ranchi, and is continuing at the Tropical
Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur.
In his career, Dr. Sett did his Postdoctoral Research
at the University of Western Ontario, London, Canada during 1993-94 where he
worked on protein phosphorylation. He was a Visiting Scientist at the State
University of New York, Syracuse, NY, USA during 1998-99 where he worked on
making of transgenic plants. He presented his work on pollution around the sponge
iron factories in IUFRO Conference at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia during 2008.
Dr. R. Sett has more than 50 publications in National and International Journals
to his credit and edited one book. He is currently engaged with works on research
in the area of Environmental Biotechnology with special emphasis of Indian forestry
species and National pollution issues.
