Journal of Medicinal Chemistry & Studies

Dr. Tosh received his Ph.D. degree (Organic Chemistry) from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. He worked as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at Ewha Woman's University, Seoul with Prof. Lak Shin Jeong, where he worked on medicinal chemistry and was the first to discover 4′-Seleno nucleoside scaffolds for anti-viral research. Dr. Tosh also worked as a visiting fellow with Dr. Kenneth A. Jacobson at Laboratory of Bioorganic Chemistry, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, where he worked on extensively on Adenosine receptors, P2Y receptors, Serotonin receptors, opioid receptors, and Dopamine Transporter. Several of his discovered molecules are in the preclinical developmental stage for a different therapeutic area like chronic neuropathic pain, anti-depression and seizure and also some molecules are available commercially as a research tool.  Currently, he works as a staff scientist at the same institute of NIH. Dr. Tosh serves as an Editorial Board member of the journal, Dataset Papers in Pharmacology and Biochemistry section of the journal, Dataset Papers in Biology” (Hindawi Publishing Corporation) and a Reviewer of many prominent journals in the area of Medicinal chemistry and Organic  Chemistry.
