About Amit Kar
I am a Project Scientist at the Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development (IBSD), an autonomous institute under the Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India. My research focuses on the quality evaluation and evidence-based validation of Indian medicinal plants, combining modern metabolomics and network pharmacology to bridge traditional knowledge with cutting-edge science.With over a decade of experience, I have extensively worked on standardization, marker analysis, safety profiling, and synergy exploration of Indian medicinal plants to develop safe and efficacious natural therapeutics targeting infectious diseases, metabolic disorders, and lifestyle-related health challenges. My research has resulted in over 66 peer-reviewed publications, 15 book chapters, and a patent for a water quality assessment kit.Beyond research, I actively promote ethnopharmacology as Secretary of the Society for Ethnopharmacology, India, and Auditor for the International Society for Ethnopharmacology, Switzerland. I am deeply committed to nurturing young scientific talent, organizing national and international conferences, traditional healers\' meets, and capacity-building programs to strengthen India\'s bioresource-based healthcare innovation ecosystem.My vision is to advance the global acceptance of India’s traditional and folk medicines through evidence-based validation, sustainable resource utilization, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Areas of Interest: Metabolomics | Network Pharmacology | Quality Standardization | Medicinal Plant Research | Traditional Knowledge Documentation | Water Quality Surveillance | Public Health Innovation | Bioprospecting of Natural Products | Antiinfective agent | Metabolic related Disorders
