At present he serves as Professor of Biochemistry at College of Medicine & JNM Hospital, The West Bengal University of Health Science, Kolkata, India. He lives at Tollygunge with his wife and a son.

Research career
It was under the guidance of Dr. Vasudevan, he had written most of his notable works like "Biochemical markers for alcohol consumption, "Effect of ethanol on liver antioxidant defense systems: Adose dependent study", "Oxidative stress is the primary event: effects of ethanol consumption in brain", "Biochemical diagnosis of alcoholism", "Effect of lecithin in the treatment of ethanol mediated free radical induced hepatotoxicity", "Monitoring oxidative stress in patients with non-alcoholic and alcoholic liver diseases", "Role of ethanol on aluminum induced biochemical changes on rat brain" and "Effects of chronic ethanol exposure on renal function tests and oxidative stress in kidney". Some of these were also written with his close friends like Prasunpriya Nayak and also with his students. At present, he has undertaken several works on grapes in collaboration with Department of Atomic Energy. Presently he is the members of some well known Indian Organisations like Society for Free Radical Research India (SFRR India) and Association of Clinical Biochemists of India (ACBI). He is also a member of American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC). He was also the Guest Editor of Indian Journal of Biochemistry & Biophysics (IJBB), one of the finest Indian magazine for Biophysics and Biochemistry.
