Dr. John J.
Georrge
Associate Professor & Head, Department of Bioinformatics, University of North Bengal.
A computational biologist working where bioinformatics, drug discovery, and artificial intelligence meet. Unusually, a qualified intellectual-property lawyer.
Recognised as a pioneer of bioinformatics and cheminformatics in India, Dr. Georrge has spent two decades advancing computational drug discovery: founding a department, researching proteomics at the University of Bonn, and building a research group at North Bengal.
