Assist. Prof. Dr. Kumaravel Kaliaperumal | Nanobiotechnology Awards | Best Researcher Award

Dr. Kumaravel Kaliaperumal pursued postdoctoral research at two prestigious institutions. At the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Guangzhou, China, from June 2014 to May 2018, he focused on isolating bioactive metabolites from deep-sea fungi and exploring their gene biosynthesis under the guidance of Prof. Yonghong Liu. Following this, at the Department of Bioengineering, Gannan Normal University, Ganzhou, China, from February 2019 to June 2020, he investigated the therapeutic properties of the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Semi liquidambar sp for rheumatoid arthritis using in-vivo human models, supervised by Prof. Zhang Jun. Additionally, Dr. Kaliaperumal enriched his expertise through a short-term training program on High-Resolution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy at the Department of Nuclear Medicine and Physics, Saint Petersburg University, Russia, spanning from 17th February 2012 to 21st July 2012, under the mentorship of Prof. Vladimir Chizik.

Dr. Kumaravel Kaliaperumal, currently an Assistant Professor at Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals in India, has a multifaceted career journey. He served as an Editorial Manager and Subject Matter Expert at Lumina Datamatics Inc in Pondicherry from 2021 to 2022. Dr. Kaliaperumal augmented his academic pursuits with significant international exposure, including a 6-month Crash Course Training Programme on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) at Saint Petersburg State University, Russia, from February to July 2012. He also engaged in a Postdoctoral Lab Exchange Visit at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in September 2014 and participated in pivotal conferences such as the International Conference on “Redox Biology meets Nutrition” at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, in September 2015, and the International Conference for Innovation in Biomedical Engineering and Life Sciences at the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in December 2015. Dr. Kaliaperumal’s expertise spans various fields, including High-Resolution NMR Metabolomics, Natural Product Chemistry, and Gene Biosynthesis, complemented by a proficiency in languages such as English, Tamil, and beginner-level Mandarin.
