Dr. Munishwar Nath Gupta earned his PhD from Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, and completed post-doctoral positions at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA), University of Minnesota (USA), Lund University (Sweden), and University of Technology of Compiegne (France). He has taught chemistry, biochemistry, and biotechnology at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, between 1975-2016. He was awarded the National Science Talent fellowship (India) and Fellowships of National Academy of Sciences and Indian National Science Academy. He has edited three books on thermostability of enzymes, non-aqueous enzymology and affinity-based separation methods. He was an Associate Editor of Biocatalysis and Biotransformation (Taylor and Francis) and the founding and former editor-in-chief of Sustainable Chemical Processes (Springer). He’s served on editorial boards of several national and international journals and acted as a consultant to Novozyme (Denmark), Dabur (India), and other international companies. Vladimir N. Uversky is Professor in the Department of Molecular Medicine at the Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida. His research centers on protein folding, misfolding, and intrinsic disorder. He began his career at the Institute of Protein Research and the Institute for Biological Instrumentation in Russia, before moving to the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1998 and Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis in 2004, where he served as Senior Research Professor. He has been at USF since 2010 and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology, the Royal Society of Chemistry, and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering. Professor Uversky co-founded the Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Subgroup at the Biophysical Society and the Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Gordon Research Conference, and has edited several books and book series on protein structure, folding, and misfolding. He serves as an editor for several scientific journals.
