Dr. Suryyani Deb is the first to report most of the bare metallic nanoparticles can activate platelets functions. Her investigation on how haemostasis and platelet function affected by nanoforms are highly appreciated by the scientific community.
Her work also recognised with coverage and cover storey in Nanomedicine. During her academic career, she spent research stays at National Institute of Immunohaematology (NIIH), Mumbai, where she explored theranostics (combined approach with diagnosis and therapy) for arterial thrombosis. In Sweden, at Linkoping University, she investigated effect of Tyrosine Kinase inhibitors on platelet function and platelet microparticle formation. She has returned India on 2017 with DST Young Scientist award to initiate and lead a research team and granted with BIRAC DBT project.
She has published several scientific articles in high impact journals with cover page and cover story and she has also granted with US patent and WIPO.
