Ashish TewariSince graduating with a PhD in medicinal chemistry from the University of Lucknow, Dr Tewari has developed extensive experience in both academic and industry settings, including work as a Research Associate at both The Indian Institute of Technology nd the Central Drug Research Institute, as a Research Scientist at New Chemical Entity Research, and his current role as Assistant Professor in Chemistry at Banaras Hindu University, where he has framed the syllabus and supervised numerous PhD students. He has published over 40 research papers in respected international publications.

Dr Tewari's major field of research is Molecular Recognition and Medicinal Chemistry, with emphasis on the synthesis of bio active molecules, flexible molecules with aromatic back bones and synthesis of foldamers in order to study aromatic interactions. His research group's aim is to understand the mechanism of aromatic interactions, and they are actively working in the synthesis of pyrazole, imidazole, pyridone, and pyridazine systems, where they have produced some particularly interesting results relating to solid state eclipsed and staggered stacked conformations.
