Bio
Dr. Pritam Ganguly received a B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Calcutta (St. Xavier’s College) and an M.Sc. in Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. He completed his Ph.D. in Chemistry at Technische Universität Darmstadt and postdoctoral research at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Dr. Ganguly leads a research group at RIT that combines molecular modeling and machine learning to study protein behavior in complex biological systems, with applications in neurodegenerative diseases, drug delivery, and antimicrobial materials.

Currently Teaching
CHMB-402
Biochemistry I
3 Credits
This course introduces the structure and function of biological macromolecules and their metabolic pathways. The relationship between the three-dimensional structure of proteins and their function in enzymatic catalysis will be examined. Membrane structure and the physical laws that apply to metabolic processes will also be discussed.
CHMB-493
Biochemistry Research
1 - 3 Credits
This course is a faculty-directed student project or research in biochemistry that could be considered of an original nature.
CHMP-753
Computational Chemistry
3 Credits
This course will introduce students to an in-depth investigation into the computational theories and applications used to model complex physical and chemical phenomena. Computational methods are used to provide synergy linking experiment with theory involving such chemical processes as reaction mechanisms, docking, energy transfer and conformational conversions. Predicting spectral and thermodynamic properties of molecular systems and ensembles will also be treated.
