Profile
Dr. Janani Radhakrishnan completed her M. Sc. (2011) in Biomedical Science (5 year integrated) from Bharathidasan University, India and secured first rank. She pursued Ph.D. (2017) as DST INSPIRE Junior & Senior Research Fellow, at the Centre for Nanotechnology and Advanced Biomaterials (CeNTAB), SASTRA University, Thanjavur, India. She has been awarded Founder Chancellor’s award for Best Ph.D. dissertation of year 2017 for sciences at SASTRA University. During her PhD, she had short-term international visits to Tokyo City University, Japan and University of Connecticut, US. Further, she worked at Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM), Chennai as postdoctoral fellow (2018-2020). She has been awarded with the prestigious DST INSPIRE faculty fellowship from December 2020. She has two Indian patents granted and publications in top biomaterials journals. She has joined NIAB as Scientist in August 2022.
