Mrutyunjay Suar
Dr. Suar is a PhD in Molecular Microbiology from University of Delhi and Postdoc at ETH Zurich from 2004-2007. In June 2007 he joined KIIT University and established the School of Biotechnology. During this short span of time, the School of Biotechnology became a centre of excellence, supported by the Department of Biotechnology, Govt of India.
Dr. Suar is involved in research related to interdisciplinary science with specialized focus on infection biology. His research group includes multidimensional researchers working on bacterial infection and development of vaccines. He is also involved in research related to nanobiotechnology focusing on development of nanomaterials for health application and understanding their toxicological aspects with different animal models.
He established KIIT Technology Business Incubator (KIIT-TBI) in 2009 as the CEO, nurturing 200+companies in the area of engineering, energy, biotechnology and allied areas. He has received several recognitions including the American Society of Microbiology (ASM) Professorship award in 2012 during a visit to UCLA, USA; GP Chatterjee memorial award during 102nd Indian Science Congress and the Future Young Technical Leaders by STARS Switzerland in 2010. He also attended the Global Entrepreneurship leadership Symposium at HAAS Business School, USA and visited UC Berkley.
