Mansoor M. Amiji is the Distinguished Professor and Chairman of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the Bouvé College of Health Sciences at Northeastern University. Dr. Amiji has edited a number of books and is a frequently published author. His research focuses on the synthesis of novel polymeric materials for medical and pharmaceutical applications, drug delivery systems and nanomedical technologies, and his contributions in research advising, grant reviews for various organizations and editorial work for journals are invaluable. Rajagopal Ramesh is a Professor in the Department of Pathology at the Stanton L. Young Biomedical Research Center of the University of Oklahoma. Dr. Ramesh’s research is concerned with developing novel, gene-based therapeutics in translational cancer research. Findings from Dr. Ramesh’s lab have led to clinical trials for treatment of solid tumors and he publishes regularly in well-regarded international journals.
