Dr. Suman Srivastava is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry, School of Basic and Applied Sciences at K. R. Mangalam University, with specialization in Inorganic chemistry. She did her postgraduate studies and Ph.D. in organic medicinal chemistry from Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Uttar Pradesh (UP), India. Her research work focuses on the design and synthesis of novel organic compounds with potential applications in drug discovery. Following the completion of her Ph.D., Dr. Suman did postdoctoral research at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi. Dr. Srivastava got the prestigious Department of Science and Technology (DST)-Inspire Faculty Award and she started her independent career at National Institute of Technology (NIT), Delhi. Dr. Suman’s doctoral research resulted in several publications in reputable journals.

Her contributions to the field have been recognized with several fellowships and awards such as D. S. Kothari Postdoctoral fellowship from University Grant Commission (UGC), Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) – Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI) – Incentive Award for 3 consecutive years, Acharya P. C. Ray and Sanat Kumar Basu Award from BHU. Dr. Srivastava is also a lifetime member of the Chemical research society of India (CRSI) and Indian Society of Chemist and biologist (ISCB) and serves as a reviewer for various prominent chemistry journals.
