Professor Maitra and his co-workers made novel contribution in understanding the role of pineal and its hormone melatonin in photo-regulation of avian and piscine reproduction. He provided first evidence of extra-hypothalamic actions of melatonin on ovary by demonstrating melatonin receptors on oocytes in any fish species as well as first information on the chronobiology and physiology of gut melatonin in fish. Collectively, his research explained how melatonin plays a critical role in the regulation of diverse physiological functions, especially reproduction, in fish.

I have a great experience in beekeeping, pesticides toxicology, molecular techniques and ecological risk assessment of pesticides on bees. Moreover, my ongoing research is directed toward the effects of pesticides on honey bee immunity and susceptibility to different infectious diseases. I have published 7 peer-reviewed journal articles. In addition to that there is a bunch of manuscripts, some already submitted others in preparation. A total of 7 abstracts have been presented at domestic and international, scientific conferences. Additionally, I have awarded the scientific publication award from Tanta University, Egypt 5 months ago.

Born and brought up in Digboi, Assam (India) known for its first oil refinery in Asia and fortunate enough to be an inhabitant of land globally known for its one horned rhinoceroes and Golden silk (Locally known as Muga, Antherae assama). I did my Bacherlor of Science and Master of Science in Zoology with specialization on Cell and Molecular Biology in 2000 and 2002 respectively. I have been teaching Zoology at post graduate level in the Dept. of Zoology, Rajiv Gandhi University since 2005. Meanwhile I have been awarded with Doctor of Philosophy in 2011 for my research on Para-Phenylenediamine a component of modern hair dye formulation. At present I am investigating phytochemicals as potential source for therapeutic applications. One of my research areas investigates the antiproliferative properties of medicinal plants in prostate hyperplasia as well as in colon cancer model. Another area of my research includes the screening and investigating the anitdiabetic properties of traditional medicinal plants for type II diabetes mellitus.

My main research interests focus on the effects of pesticides on various kind of animals. I am also interested in cricket culture. I am examining the surface of insect egg by using scanning electron microscope. My another interest area is the various histochemical stainings. In addition to gonadal structure of fish, atresia and apoptosis are within my work topics. My work topic also includes embryonic development of fish and some animals. Structures of snake’s venom gland and Duvernoy’s gland are one of my interests.
