He later moved to Poland for post-doctoral studies at Nicolaus Copernicus University, Torun. Dr. Naveen has guided both B.Sc. and M.Sc. project students and co-guided 2 MPhil students. He is also a reviewer for many international journals.

💼 Professional Experience

Dr. P. Naveen is currently serving as an Assistant Professor at Sona College of Arts and Science, Salem. Prior to this role, he worked as a Research Associate at Bharathiar University, where he gained valuable research experience. He also held the position of Assistant Professor at Dr. N.G.P. Arts and Science, Coimbatore. Additionally, Dr. Naveen expanded his expertise during his tenure as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Poland, contributing to his comprehensive understanding of coordination chemistry.

🔬 Research Interests

Dr. Naveen focuses on Bioinorganic Chemistry and Organometallics. He is particularly interested in synthesizing transition metal complexes, especially Schiff base ligands, to explore their anticancer properties and other biological applications. His research aims to discover new ligands that yield metal complexes with unique properties, improved cytotoxic potential, and lower side effects compared to traditional treatments like cis-platin. He investigates DNA/protein binding abilities, antioxidant properties, and the overall cytotoxic potential of these complexes.
