Evidence-Based Validation of Herbal Medicine

Pulok Kumar Mukherjee is currently working as a professor at Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India, where his research centers on bioprospecting of natural products within translational chemical biology. He previously served as Director of the Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development (IBSD) and as Director (additional charge) of the Institute of Life Sciences, Bhubaneswar, under the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India. His research integrates traditional knowledge with modern scientific tools, emphasizing evidence-based validation of medicinal plants for drug development, metabolomics, quality assurance, and regulatory aspects of herbal medicine. He holds several patents and has authored/edited multiple books and chapters with various publishers. He has published more than 290 peer-reviewed articles and is ranked among the top 2% scientists worldwide in a Stanford University study. He has played a key role in shaping policies and guidelines on traditional medicine research, serving on expert committees for the World Health Organization, the Department of Biotechnology, and the Indian Council of Medical Research, among others. A recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, Prof. Mukherjee has built impactful collaborations across academia, industry, and government, advancing translational research and sustainable development in natural products.
