Dr Ashish Dwivedi graduated from CSIR-Indian Institute of Toxicology Research, Lucknow, India, in Phototoxicology. Thereafter, he enriched himself in the same domain of research as Post-Doctoral Fellow at Israel Institute of Technology, Israel, Colorado University, USA, and Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. Based on his outstanding research experience, he got an opportunity to return to his parenteral research organization-CSIR-IITR, where he is currently a Scientist in the Drug & Chemical Toxicology Group. In a decade-long research career, Dr Dwivedi has established himself as one of the pioneers in the area of phototoxicity/photo safety with special reference to the phot-safety of cosmetics ingredients (hair dyes, colorants, preservatives and fragrances), therapeutic agents, nanotized phytochemicals, environmental pollutants, etc. Besides the laboratory work, he has also been involved in fostering contemporary science to Post-Graduate, Ph D students, researchers, and university teachers. Dr Dwivedi’s research efforts have been rewarding in terms of the quantifiable number of research publications in journals of high repute. He has also edited three books for Springer Nature in the area of Photo protection, Skin Aging, and Cosmetics safety and alternative models. He is a member of various scientific societies, including the society of Toxicology, USA, Indian Photobiology Society, India, Society of Toxicology, India, etc.
