Jagnyeswar Ratha

Jagnyeswar Ratha is a Professor at School of Life Sciences, Sambalpur University, Burla. He teaches Biochemistry, Cell biology, Immunology and Animal Biotechnology.

He graduated from School of Life sciences, Sambalpur University with B.sc Zoology honours. He did his M.Sc from the same institute in School of Life Sciences. His doctrial research involved immunomodulatory activity of bioactive components isolated from natural sources. After completion of doctoral in Jadavpur University, Kolkata in 2007, in the year 2015 he completed his post doctoral in Cancer biology from University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. He is currently teaching in School of Life Sciences, Sambalpur University.

He completed his post doctoral in 2015 from Texas, his work was based on natural products for prevention and treatment of Cancer. One of his paper was in the list of 19 paper which was said to be manipulated when checked under an independent agency.
