About the author
Surya K. De is a principal scientist at Plex Pharmaceuticals and Collidion Inc. in San Diego, California (USA), since 2016. He obtained his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Jadavpur University, Kolkata ( India), and worked at the University of Washington (Seattle, USA), Purdue University (West Lafayette, Indiana, USA), and The Scripps Research Institute (La Jolla, USA) prior to joining the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (La Jolla, USA) as a scientist in 2007. His research interests focus on the development of new synthetic methodology in organic synthesis (e.g. multi-step reactions), catalyst development, drug design and discovery, as well as medicinal chemistry. He has authored more than 100 peer reviewed international journal contributions, ten patents, and one book. He is an editorial broad member of "The Open Organic Chemistry Journal", "The Open Catalysis Journal", and "Current Chemical Research". He is an elected fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK) and an Alternate Councilor in the American Chemical Society (San Diego section), since 2007.
