Biographical Sketches
Sayantani Chanda Received her B.Sc (Bachelor of
Science) degree in Botany from University of Calcutta, Kolkata,
India, in the year 2012 and Post-Graduation degree, M.Sc.(Master
of Science) in Genetics from West Bengal University of
Technology, Kolkata, India in 2014. After that she joined in
Energy & Wetlands Research Group, Indian Institute of
Science, Bangalore-560012, India, as research intern. She worked
there about 2 years. The area of research was Pharmacological,
Phytochemical and spatial aspects of plants in Indian sacred
groves and its relevance towards maintenance of ecosystem and
their sustainable utilization. There after she has been
associated with Agricultural and Ecological Research Unit,
Biological Sciences Division, Indian Statistical Institute,
Kolkata, India. She is now working in the area of Cultivation
and regeneration of medicinal plants by natural as well as
tissue culture method and conserve them in their natural
habitat. Further she is going to undertake the project on
Squalene (C30H50), a naturally occurring highly unsaturated
triterpene, is an intermediate in the cholesterol biosynthesis
both in plant and animal world. This compound plays various
biological roles, therefore makes it a favorite choice in the
pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food supplement industries.
Basically, in this regard she is interested to explore the rich,
natural, renewable and cost-effective sources of squalene from
the abscisic leaves of the plants. She published many papers in
different national and
international journal and also taken part in various
international conferences. She has been awarded “Young Achiever
Award 2020” for her outstanding contribution and recognition in
the field of Plant Molecular Genetics from Agricultural and
Environmental Technology Development Society, India.

Institution of Engineers (IE, India; 2003), and a Senior Member,
IEEE (USA; 2000) and Association of Energy Engineers (USA;
2000), National Institute of Ecology (2011). His areas of
specialization are on Biodiversity-Ecology- Hydrology linkages,
Ecological Modeling, Energy, Wetlands, Soil and Water Pollution,
GIS and Remote sensing, Environment Education, Conservation of
Terrestrial and Aquatic ecosystems, Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA),Cumulative Environmental Impact Assessment etc.
