Dr. Maiti B.Sc., Presidency College,  M. Sc University of Calcutta. He received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from TIFR under the supervision of Prof. N.  Periasamy. Subsequently he served as a visiting scientist (JSPS- postdoctoral) at Institute for Molecular Science, Japan in the laboratory of Prof. Teizo Kitagawa and defined the action of xanthine oxidase using state of the art Resonance Raman Spectroscopy. He then visited University of Missouri-Kansas City and worked on structural aspects of P75 viral proteins using Raman methods with George Thomas, Jr.  He continued his research at School of Medicine, Case Western Reserve on structural aspects of protein disorder and developed a Raman based methodologies to define  the conformation population  of the protein in different state of its aggrgation. He visited California State University-Los Angeles and Louisiana State University prior to join as a Senior Scientist at CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology, Kolkata in 2010.

Dr. Maiti published over 70 scientific articles in prestigious journals, He is a member of several professional societies include  the Scientific Society of research Sigma Xi, American Chemical Society, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Neuclear Magnetic Society of India,  Indian  Science Congress, Biophysical Society of India. Dr. Maiti was awarded with an international JSPS fellowship award, JSPS, Japan,  Raman Research fellowship award, CSIR, New Delhi 

 Currently  Dr. Maiti’s laboratory is busy to study structure function relationship of amyloidal aggregates and, study them under Raman microscope,  Visualising events inside single protein crystal by Raman method and nano-based drug design for cancer  therapy. The experimental techniques adopted in his laboratory  include sophisticated Raman, high‑field solution state NMR and, steady state and time resolved fluorescence methodologies.  In addition, he engages computational and bioinformatics approaches to derive the  molecular details of these proteins and their interaction.
