Bio Sketch
Chair Professor at the School of Medical Science, Indian Institute of Tedhnology Kharagpur and at the National Institute of Medical Science and Technology, Kharagpur, India graduated in 1961 with B.Tech(Hons) in Electrical Engineering from IIT, Kharagpur; followed by Master?s degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT and University of Illinois, USA; a PhD in Medical Physiology from St. Louis University, USA and Medical degree with license to practice from Delhi University and Medical Council of India. He has led scientific research which brings about a synthesis of engineering and biomedical sciences and the setting up of academic programs at the national and international levels. His work has given a foundation for Biomedical Engineering in India He has introduced to the international scientific community the area of Bioengineering in Reproductive Medicine and authored the CRC book publication ?Bioengineering in Reproductive Medicine?. His concept of Injectable Intravasal Contraceptive for the Male based upon non-vas occlusive electrical charge generating drug RISUG is currently in Phase III Clinical Trial and has been internationally acclaimed as the most promising emerging non hormonal male contraceptive method. Professor Guha?s technological work has helped develop in India a strong manufacturing base of contraceptives including the Copper T and the Fallopian Tube Occlusion Ring.
Focusing on the field of reproductive health Prof. Guha has broad scientific and technological interests including :in simple low cost Technology for Rural Health Care using most advanced and technically complex scientific concepts; rehabilitation of the disabled especially the blind for whom he has designed a system for access to computer knowledge and graphics; and bioinstrumentation for noninvasive physiological monitoring. His work has been recognized by the conferment of scientific awards by various national bodies like the Indian Council of Medical Research; Indian Medical Association; University Grants Commission and National Research Development Corporation as well as international organization, the United Nation.
At present Prof. Guha is developing a Clinical Andrology program and is also the President of the Society of Andrology, India.
