Exosomal RNA

Debalina Bhattacharya is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Microbiology, Maulana Azad College, West Bengal, India. Previously, she worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Biotechnology and Department of Biochemistry, University of Calcutta, West Bengal, India. She holds a PhD in bionanotechnology from Jadavpur University, West Bengal, India. She has been awarded UGC DS Kothari Post-Doctoral Fellowship in 2015 and DST-SERB National Post-Doctoral fellowship in 2018. She has co-authored 24 peer-reviewed research articles and review articles and 17 book chapters. She has also previously co-edited a book with Elsevier, "Exosomal RNA: Role in Human Diseases and Therapy". Dr. Mainak Mukhopadhyay is currently working as Associate Professor at the Department of Biosciences, JIS University, Kolkata, India. Previously, he worked as a research fellow at ONGC Energy Centre, Delhi, India. He holds a PhD in Bioenergy from the Agricultural and Food Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India. He has been awarded the Petrotech Research Fellowship in 2008. In 2016 he was awarded the Early Career Research Award from DST-SERB. In addition to editing two books, he has co-authored 13 peer-reviewed papers, 19 book chapters and filled 3 patents. He has also co-edited another book with Elsevier, "Exosomal RNA: Role in Human Diseases and Therapy". Professor Kursad Turksen received his PhD from the University of Toronto in the area of osteoprogenitor biology and cell selection methodologies. He then did postdoctoral training at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of Chicago, USA, studying epidermal biology through the use of genetically-altered mouse models. He joined the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute where he rose to the position of Senior Scientist in the Division of Regenerative Medicine. His research interests focus on stem cell biology, with a particular interest in the Claudin family of tight junction proteins and their role in epidermal lineage commitment and progression during development in health and disease. Dr. Turksen is currently series editor of Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine (Springer Nature) and Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (Springer Nature).
