Ramendra Pratap

Prof. Ramendra Pratap completed his master’s from the University of Gorakhpur in 2001 and then he moved to Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow for doctoral research. He worked with Dr. Vishnu Ji Ram for four and a half years on ring transformtion reactions of 2H-pyran-2-ones. He worked on nucleoside modification chemistry as a postdoctoral fellow at the City University of New York, USA, for two years. He received a renowned Humboldt fellowship and shifted to the University of Saarland, Germany. In Saarbrucken, he was involved in Mo-catalyzed reactions. In September 2010, He joined the Department of Chemistry, University of Delhi as an Assistant Professor. Currently, He is working as a full Professor. Till now he has published more than 100 research papers in various international Journals. He also received JSPS invitation fellowship during the year 2016-17. His chemistry focuses on developing various heterocycles, carbocycles, materials, and metal-catalyzed bond formation reactions. His major research contribution involves use of isolated and fused pyranones to establish new molecular entities.
