Buddhadeb was born and raised in Insura-Hooghly, West Bengal. He obtained his B.Sc. (2001) in chemistry from the Burdwan University and M.Sc. (2003) in chemistry from Visva-Bharati University. In 2003, he left Visva-Bharati and enrolled in Kalyani University for his Ph.D. in the laboratories of Professor K. C. Majumdar. In 2009, he accepted a postdoctoral research associateship from the University of Illinois at Chicago, USA in the group of Professor Vladimir Gevorgyan. Spending two years at Chicago, he then moved to the Michigan State University, Michigan, USA for his next postdoctoral research program in the laboratories of Professor Milton R. Smith III. Group (2011-July 2014). In August 2014, he moved to the Centre of Bio-Medical Research (CBMR) Lucknow, India as a DST-Ramanujan Faculty and since November 2016, he is working as an Assistant Professor. Dr. Chattopadhyay has more than 50 international publications in reputed journal. His research interest includes the development of transition metal-catalyzed C–H activation/functionalization, design and synthesis of new ligands for organic synthesis and metal-nitrene chemistry for the construction of biomedical molecules.
