Edible Nanomaterials

Dr. Verma has been working as an Associate Professor & Head in the Institute of Biological Science, SAGE University, Indore, India. He has more than 15 years’ research and teaching experience in the field of biotechnology in India, Italy, South Korea, Turkey and he has published more than 50 papers in SCI journals to date. He is a recognized expert in the use of biotechnology, molecular biology, and nanotechnology techniques, giving many invited talks and presented papers at international conferences and symposia around the world. He has undergone an advanced training course on “A practical course in mammalian cell biology (MAM-TUBITAK, Turkey)”, “RNA structure and function” (ICGEB, Italy), and “Quorum sensing in plant-associated bacteria” (ICGEB, Italy). Furthermore, he has received two best oral paper presentation awards in national conferences and one young scientist award in international conference. Besides, he has also received a memento for scientific achievement from the Rector, BAIBU, Bolu, Turkey. He is a reviewer of many international peer reviewed journals. Over the last 35 years, Dr. Ashok Kumar Das has earned wide ranging research experience in diverse fields including emulsions, dispersions, electrolytes, polymers, gas hydrates, targeted drug delivery using dendrimers, water harvesting technology, suspension rheology and development of nanomaterials. His current researches focus on plant-nanoparticle interactions and developing computational models for harvesting solar energy. He is also actively pursuing in the preparation of model drug-dendrimer nanoconjugates to be used as nanomedicines in the fight against various diseases.Dr. Das has acquired extensive research and teaching experience in India, Canada, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea and Ethiopia. For several of the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK) journals, Dr. Das regularly serves as an adjudicative reviewer.
