Dr TC Nag received his doctoral degree (1991) from the University of Calcutta, Kolkata. He was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Biology, University of Montréal, Canada (1993) and later worked as a research associate and Pool Officer in Neurobiology Laboratory at the Department of Anatomy, AIIMS, New Delhi (1995-1998). He also worked as a lecturer in West Bengal Educational Service (1998-2001) after which he joined as an assistant professor in the electron microscopy section of the department (2001). He is a recipient of Shakuntala Amir Chand Prize of ICMR (1999), SS Parmar Foundation Award and JR Bhattacharjee Award of Indian Academy of Neurosciences and AIIMS Research excellence award (2015) and is a member of National Academy of Sciences, Allahabad and Associate Editor, Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology (Wiley).
