Bijay Singh, PhD

Dr. Singh received his PhD (Biochemistry) at the Department of Life Science and Biochemical Engineering in Sun Moon University, Korea. The central theme of the thesis was to engineer biosynthetic pathways in bacteria to produce novel antibiotics and anti-cancer drugs. He finished his Master’s degree at the Department of Chemistry in Tribhuvan University.

After PhD, he joined the Department of Biomaterials Engineering in Seoul National University, Korea as a senior researcher. In this position, he developed several polymeric biomaterials with drugs, genes or proteins and evaluated their effects in animal models. Especially, he had tested the efficacy of these biomaterials for targeting delivery in liver, lungs and intestines, both in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, he gained much insight in the molecular and cellular mechanisms of drug, gene or protein delivery in mammalian cells and mouse models.
