Utsav Dey Sarkar

I am a PhD student in Organic Chemistry at IISER Pune, specializing in reactive sulfur/selenium species, protein biochemistry, and drug development. Skilled in analytical techniques, data analysis, and scientific writing, I am seeking postdoctoral opportunities in chemical biology, medicinal chemistry, or redox biochemistry.
