'''Ravi Bhushan''' (born 12 April 1953, in Muzaffarnagar, India) was a Professor of Chemistry at [[Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee]] who worked in the areas of natural products chemistry, [[protein chemistry]], and [[chiral analysis]] by liquid chromatography.

== Education and academic career ==

Bhushan began his education in his native India, completing his undergraduate and master's degrees from the [[University of Jodhpur]]. He received his Ph.D. in chemistry (working on structure elucidation of natural products isolated from certain desert plants) in 1978 at the [[University of Jodhpur]]. Bhushan joined as a lecturer at the [[University of Roorkee]] (now [[Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee]], India) in 1979 and was later selected for the position of full professor of chemistry in 1996 and served there till retirement in 2018.{{fact|date=February 2023}}

=== Research ===
He started his research in the chemistry of natural products. At [[Washington State University]] he established early steps in the metabolism of d-neomethyl-α-D-glucoside in pipermint (''Mentha piperita'') rhizomes ''via in vivo'' studies. Bhushan developed a ''de novo'' method for direct resolution of certain [[racemate]]s by [[liquid chromatography]]. Later, the approach was applied for direct enantioseparation of several active pharmaceutical ingredients ([[API]]s). It is now an established approach in literature. 1994 onwards, the method was extended to such resolutions by [[ligand exchange]] principle.<ref name="Bhushan">Ravi Bhushan, Jürgen Martens. ''Amino Acids: Chromatographic Separation and Enantioresolution'', HNB Publishing, New York, 2010, S. 322, ISBN 978-0-9728061-3-8.</ref> The method is of significant importance to pharmaceutical industry and analytical laboratories associated with regulatory agencies for determination and control of enantiomeric purity (and isolation of native enantiomers) of a variety of APIs since many of them are marketed and administered as racemic mixture while only one enantiomer is therapeutically useful.<ref name="pmid6092093">{{cite journal |author=[[Everhardus Jacobus Ariëns]]|title=Stereochemistry, a basis for sophisticated nonsense in pharmacokinetics and clinical pharmacology |journal=Eur.

Bhushan supervised the Ph.D. theses of > 30 scholars and has published more than 270 research papers.

=== Editorial work ===
Bhushan is a member of editorial board of
* [[Biomedical Chromatography]], (John Wiley & Sons, UK, since Jan 1996);
* [[Bioanalysis]] (Future Science Group, UK, since 2011), and
* [[Acta Chromatographica]] (Akademiai Kiado, Hungary, since 2012).

==Honours and awards==
* 1988 [[Alexander von Humboldt Fellow|Alexander von Humboldt fellowship]] of Germany: Research with Jürgen Martens at the [[University of Oldenburg]] and Hans Brückner [[University of Giessen]].
* 1992 European Economic Community Fellowship: Research with Peter Shewry [[University of Bristol]]
* 1993 [[Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry]]
* 2001 Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences India
