Arkaprava Banerjee

Arkaprava Banerjee is a Researcher (funded by the Life Sciences Research Board, DRDO, Govt. of India) working at the Drug Theoretics and Cheminformatics Laboratory, Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, Jadavpur University, Kolkata. Mr. anerjee has twenty-nine research articles published in reputed journals and four book chapters with overall citations of 763 and an h-index of 17 (Scopus). His ORCID identifier is 0000-0001-8468-0784, His expertise lies in the similarity-based cheminformatic approaches like Read-Across and Read-Across Structure-Activity Relationship (RASAR) – a novel method that combines the concept of QSAR and Read-Across. Mr. Banerjee is also a Java programmer, who has developed various cheminformatic tools based on QSAR, Read-Across, and RASAR, and the tools are freely available from the DTC Laboratory Supplementary Website. Together with Prof. Kunal Roy, he has been one of the first researchers to develop quantitative models using similarity and error-based descriptors (quantitative/classification Read-Across Structure-Activity Relationship: q-RASAR/c-RASAR models) with applications in drug design, materials science, and property modeling. Recently, he coauthored a book on “q-RASAR,” which was published by Springer. He has also co-edited three volumes of “Materials Informatics” published by Springer. He has recently been placed in the list of the World's Top 2% science-wide author database (Single-year data 2024) (World rank 769 in the subfield of Toxicology) (Ioannidis, John P.A. (2025), "August 2025 data-update for "Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators", Elsevier Data Repository, V8, link: http://doi.org/10.17632/btchxktzyw.8).
