Gibson Group: Akalabya Bissoyi

Biography

      Akalabya Bissoyi was born in Bhubaneshwar, Odisha, India, and completed his Bachelor’s degree in pharmacy from Utkal University. Master’s degree in Biotechnology from the National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, India. His thesis focuses on the synthesis of H3 inverse agonists with AchE inhibitor properties and QSAR studies of H3 receptor antagonists.

      Subsequently, Akalabya Bissoyi did his Ph. D at Dept. of Biotechnology and Medical Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, Odisha, India, and was awarded the Ph.D. degree in 2015 with a thesis on “Cryopreservation of mesenchymal stem cell and tissue-engineered constructs using non-toxic cryoprotective agents”.

      As a former postdoctoral student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel, his research focuses on the role that antifreeze and ice-nucleating proteins play in tissue cryopreservation. In addition, he has been developing a new cryopreservation device for cell and organ-on-chip devices.

      Dr. Akalabya Bissoyi's research interests include cryobiology, stem cell engineering, tissue engineering, and ice-binding proteins.
