Biography

Prof. Anil Kumar Mishra is a distinguished scientist at the Division of Cyclotron and Radiopharmaceutical Sciences within the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). His research is primarily focused on Radiochemistry, Nuclear Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry, with a significant emphasis on the development of molecular imaging probes. These probes are essential for enhancing imaging technologies used in both medical diagnostics and defense applications, allowing for more precise and accurate visualization of biological processes. Prof. Mishra’s expertise covers a broad range of scientific disciplines, including imaging, organic synthesis, and crystallization. His skills in these areas are crucial for drug discovery and the development of innovative imaging agents, particularly those utilized in Positron Emission Tomography (PET). This sophisticated imaging technique relies on radiolabelled molecules to observe and analyze biological activities in real time, making it a powerful tool in both clinical and research settings.

Through his extensive work, Prof. Mishra has made significant contributions to the intersection of chemistry, medicine, and technology. His research not only advances scientific knowledge but also has practical implications for improving healthcare and enhancing national security through innovative diagnostic tools and technologies.
