With more than three decades of excellence in biology education, Dr. Chandra has earned distinction as an Associate Professor of Biology with Norfolk State University. Having been an Assistant Professor of Biology there since 2012, since 2023 he has focused his efforts on teaching microbiology for health sciences, nursing and medicine students and teaching two courses on anatomy and physiology. His background being in reproductive physiology, he is also working on developing research programs to control ovarian function that can lead to understanding ovarian dysfunctions to treat those conditions, with a particular target on polycystic ovary syndrome.
Prior to his current role, Dr. Chandra began his career working with the Central Drug Research Institute in India, focusing on development of an anti-implantation agent to control fertility.
