Dr. Prakash Saudagar is an active researcher and a sterling classroom teacher, currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biochemistry, National Institute of Technology Warangal, India. He obtained his Ph.D. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, India, in 2013. His research has immensely contributed to exploring potential drug target proteins and inhibitors. His research interests include molecular and biochemical parasitology, infectious disease, and protein biochemistry. He has a strong command over computational techniques and in-vitro techniques used to study proteins. He has published more than 40 research articles in reputed journals like the International Journal of Biological Molecules, FEBS, FEBS OpenBio, PLOS one, Scientific Reports, Biological Chemistry, Parasitology International, Molecular Simulation, etc., and book chapters in Elsevier and Springer to his name. He has been PI/Co-PI in research grants from SERB and DST. He has been awarded the B.S. Narasinga Rao award SBC, India (2011), Best presentation award, ICIDN, Nepal (2015), Young Faculty Award, VIF India (2016), and Young Scientist Award, Telangana Academy of Science (2018). He is an associate fellow of the Telangana Academy of Science (2018) and a life member of the Indian Science Congress and Society of Biological Chemists. He has guided several Ph.D. and M.Tech. students, postdoctoral fellows, project fellows, and trainees. He has many interdisciplinary collaborating partners in prestigious institutions in India and abroad. Dr. Timir Tripathi is a Professor of Molecular Biology, School of Life Sciences, North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong, India. He previously held positions as Regional Director of IGNOU in Kohima and a Senior Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at NEHU. His research focuses on protein–substrate interactions, conformational dynamics, and the regulatory roles of non-catalytic domains. He is especially interested in intrinsically disordered and phase-separated proteins, their roles in disease, and, more recently, molecular memory, adaptive learning, and intelligence in proteins. Professor Tripathi has received several awards and is an Associate Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi, and an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences, India. He is a section editor of Elsevier's International Journal of Biological Macromolecules and has published five books with Elsevier.
