India gained independence in 1947 and a new Indian government was formed thereon. The new Government, led by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru decided to send the five top students of the country to MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) for the course of their choice on a full and complete scholarship over three years. This included the fare and a stipend for food, books, clothes and other living expenses. Dr. Roy was interviewed extensively and selected. He completed his Masters within two years. Dr. Roy did his doctorate thesis at MIT in "Fluid Bed Reactions and Fluid Bed Cracking" which are widely done nowadays in oil refineries. Read more about Dr. T K Roy>>

Dr. Maiti joined Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) and worked there for 7 years as Sr. Process Engineer in Gujarat and Haldia Refinery. Then he pursued his graduate studies (M.S.) in Chemical Engineering (Enzyme Kinetics) at Tennessee Technological University, USA in 1992 and Ph.D. in Biological Science (Enzyme Kinetics and Pharmacokinetics) at University of Georgia, USA in 1996. He is actively involved in Model Based Drug Development (MBDD) research for last 24 years to reduce number of patients, time, cost, and increasing the probability of technical success in US based and multinational pharmaceutical and biotech companies. The major focus of his research is application of Pharmacokinetic (PK: what body does to drug including metabolisms) and Pharmacodynamic (PD: what drug does to body including drug efficacy and toxicity) modeling approaches at various stages of drug development research. Also, he is involved in performing Population Pharmacokinetic/ Pharmacodynamic (POP-PK/PD) modeling and analyses to provide information that can support drug labeling claims and dose adjustments, if required, because of other diseases and other factors such as age, weight, height, gender, and race as demographic variations in the study populations. He has contributed in drug development research of more than 45 drug candidates (small molecules and biologics) on different indications like- central nervous systems (CNS), oncology, chronic obstruction of pulmonary disease (COPD), blood claudication, psoriasis, and dry eye syndromes in large and small USA-based pharmaceutical and biotech companies including Johnson & Johnson, Otsuka, Astellas, MGI Pharma, and Intrexon Corporation; and currently working as Director (Pharmacokinetics & Drug Metabolism Division) in SIGA Biotech (Oregon) for last 5 years. So far, 5 drugs have been approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) where his disease progression and computational methods describing the action of various drugs and mathematical models of drug action to determine optimal dosage regimens in patients were used and those approved drugs are: Abilify (anti-psychotic/schizophrenia), Pletal (intermittent claudication in legs), Dacogen (chemotherapy regimen for mylodysplastic syndromes), Saforis (oral mucositis in cancer patients), and TPOXX (small pox treatment [Govt. Bio-Defense Project]). Finally, he is also working with the drug selection committee to identify suitable new drug compounds for treatment of specific disease conditions and advance those projects as successful drug candidates.

Graduated in Chemical Engineering from University College of Science & Technology (Kolkata University) in 1985 (officially 1984).
