Dr. Dnyaneshwar B. Gophane completed his B.Sc. (Chemistry) at Anand college of science, Pathardi (Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, India) in 2000 and M.Sc. (Organic Chemistry) at Department of Chemistry, University of Pune (India) in 2003. From 2003 to 2008, he worked in research and development departments of pharmaceutical companies like Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories and Nicholas Piramal India Limited, where he involved in synthesizing novel organic compounds for in vitro and in vivo screening and optimizing process for drug molecule syntheses. In 2008, Dnyaneshwar joined Prof. Sigurdsson’s laboratory for his Ph.D. study at the University of Iceland.
His Ph.D. thesis mainly describes syntheses of nitroxide spin-labeled and fluorescent nucleosides and their incorporation into DNA and RNA using phosphoramidite chemistry. These modified nucleosides are useful probes for studying the structure and dynamics of nucleic acids by EPR and fluorescence spectroscopies. In 2014, after finishing his Ph.D., he worked as post doc fellow in same laboratory and mainly worked on spin labelling of RNA.
At the university of Purdue in his second post doc, he was totally dedicated to syntheses of small molecules for anti-cancer activity and modification of cyclic dinucleotides for antibacterial activity. During his research experience, he has authored 8 international publications in peer reviewed journals like Chemical Communications, Chemistry- A European Journal, Journal of organic chemistry and Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry.
