Bioprospecting Native Microbiomes for Boosting Phytoremediation

Dr. Vimal Chandra Pandey is an applied research scientist of phyto- and phycoremediation at Chandigarh University, India. He obtained his PhD from Dr. RML Avadh University and conducted post-doctoral research at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, India. Dr. Pandey’s research focuses on the remediation and management of polluted sites using ecologically and socio-economically valuable plants and algae. His work focuses strongly on restoring ecosystem services and developing a bio-based economy in support of the UN SDGs. Dr. Pandey is a member of the IUCN commission on Ecosystem Management and the National Academy of Sciences, India. He is the author and editor of several books, including Elsevier’s Algae and Aquatic Macrophytes in Cities, Bioremediation of Pollutants, and more. Dr. Indra Mani is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Microbiology, Gargi College, University of Delhi (DU), New Delhi, India. He received M.Sc. in Microbiology from Bundelkhand University (BU), Jhansi, UP, India and Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi, UP, India. He completed postdoctoral training in the Department of Physiology, School of Medicine, Tulane University, New Orleans, USA. He has also worked as a Senior Research Officer (SRO) in the Department of Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, India. He has more than 10 years of research and teaching experience in Microbiology, Molecular Genetics, Cell Signaling, and Bioinformatics. He has published 49 articles in peer reviewed journals and 22 book chapters. He has presented several papers in the different national and international conferences. He has extensive experience in fluorescence/confocal microscopy, receptor internalization, trafficking and signaling, molecular cytogenetics, microbial characterization, and in silico analysis. He serves as a reviewer of peer-reviewed journals and also a member of national and international societies.
