Dipanwita Batabyal, PhD is a Process Development Senior Scientist at Amgen in Biological Relevance and Characterization (Attribute Sciences). She is the SME in the higher order structure (HOS) group for various spectroscopic techniques like FTIR, MMS, CD, intrinsic fluorescence and extinction coefficient for product characterization and technology development initiatives. Dipanwita received her PhD from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, NY in biophysics and molecular biology where her research focused on structural and functional characterization of heme dioxygenases using enzymology and resonance Raman spectroscopy. Prior to joining Amgen, she was a project scientist/postdoctoral fellow at UC Irvine where her research focused on structural and functional characterization of cytochrome P450s using crystallography, enzymology and spectroscopy. Dipanwita was the recipient of NIH T32 postdoctoral training grant in cancer biology. She was awarded the Barbara K. Burgess fellowship for excellence in postdoctoral research and holds a strong publication record.
