Dr. Salil Putatunda

Dr. Salil received his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Calcutta in 2015. His doctoral research work was focused on Organic synthesis and Medicinal Chemistry. Before pursuing his doctoral studies, he worked at TCG Lifesciences Pvt. Ltd. as a Research Chemist from 2006 to 2009. After finishing his Ph.D., he continued his research work at his Ph.D. lab as a Postdoctoral fellow. He moved to Charles University in Prague in 2017 as a Postdoctoral fellow. His postdoctoral research work was based on One-pot cascade synthesis of Asymmetric Spirocyclic Compounds using Synergistic Catalysis. He worked at Charles University from 2017-2019.

He joined Onium Lifesciences Pvt. Ltd. as a Senior Scientist in 2019 and worked there for over one year. Dr.Salil is associated with Sapala Organics Pvt. Ltd. since July 2020
