Contemporary Medical Biotechnology Research for Human Health

Dr. Sanket Joshi is currently a Professor at the Amity Institute of Microbial Technology, Amity University, Rajasthan, India. He has academic teaching and research experience of about 16 years, and industrial R&D experience of about 4 years in India and Oman. While working in Indian pharma companies, he undertook several turnkey projects. His current research interests encompass energy (In-situ/ex-situ microbial enhanced light/heavy oil recovery; chemical enhanced oil Recovery; biofuels), microbial products (biosurfactants, biopolymers, R&D and scale-up), and environmental bioremediation (crude oil pollution; analysis, mitigation and control of souring by Sulfate reducing bacteria; HPAM contaminated sites). He has about 125 scientific publications in international journals, book chapters, and conference proceedings, and two books to his credit. He is an Academic/Associate Editor for: Frontiers in Microbiology, PeerJ, Ecotoxicology (Springer), Petroleum Science and Technology (Springer), Biotech (Springer), and Open Biotechnology Journal; guest editor for Frontiers in Microbiology, Sustainability, Scientifica, and Open Biotechnology Journal. Susmita Mukherjee, Professor and Head of the Department, Biotechnology, University of Engineering & Management, Kolkata. She has done B. Sc. & M. Sc. from University of Kalyani, India and PhD from Indian Institute of Engineering Science & Technology, Shibpur, India. Her research interest is on ecotoxicology and environmental remediation. She has worked on the East Kolkata Wetlands, the Ramsar site in West Bengal. Her major work is on arsenic remediation. She has more than fifteen years of teaching experience. She is Associate Editor of the journal, Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Springer-Nature, Managing Editor of American Journal of Bio-Technology Research, SMART Society, USA. She has acted as guest editor in journals by Springer-Nature, ELSEVIER, Taylor and Frances and edited books published by these publication houses. She has published may research papers in journals of international repute and two patents published. Dr. Moupriya Nag is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biotechnology at UEM, Kolkata. Her research interests include single molecule biophysics, particularly protein unfolding/refolding and protein aggregation kinetics. She has expertise in biophysical chemistry, photochemistry, and single molecule spectroscopy, and has worked on protein-ligand interactions and in-vitro detection of metal ions. Her postdoctoral work explored peptide aggregation kinetics related to neurodegenerative diseases. Currently, her research focuses on functional amyloids in bacteria and their role in biofilm formation.
