Dr. Saikat Gantait is an Assistant Professor in Genetics & Plant Breeding, as well as a Plant Breeder in Crop Research Unit, Directorate of Research, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya (BCKV) (State Agricultural University). Following completion of his PhD in Biotechnology from BCKV, he gained advanced research experience leading a group to conduct fruitful research during working as Research Associate in DBT (Govt. of India)-funded project, followed by working as a Post-Doctoral Researcher in Universiti Putra Malaysia. He has guided/co-guided multiple MSc and PhD students. His 14-year research works, so far, include molecular markers, plant tissue culture, polyploidy-induction, short-term (encapsulation/synthetic seed) and long-term (cryopreservation) conservation of medicinal and ornamental plant germplasms. In addition, he is acting as a Section Editor (Plant Biotechnology) of 3Biotech and Consulting Editor of Sugar Tech (journals from Springer Nature). Dr. Gantait has reviewed more than 130 manuscripts as an ad-hoc reviewer in 50 different eminent journals from Springer, Elsevier, Taylor and Francis, PLoS, Wiley etc. Dr. Gantait was awarded with Post-Doc fellowship from MOHE, Malaysia and successfully 2-year of advanced training at University Putra Malaysia on plant tissue culture and germplasm conservation. Till date, Dr. Gantait has published 120 articles/chapters in peer-reviewed journals and books (with cumulative SCI Impact Factor of 135), mostly as the first/senior author.
