Dr Aditya Kumar Padhi is an Assistant Professor at the School of Biochemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-BHU), Varanasi, India. He earned his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IIT Delhi) in 2015 and currently leads the Laboratory for Computational Biology and Biomolecular Design (LCBD) at IIT-BHU. His lab specializes in Computational Biology, Protein Design, Structural and Translational Informatics, Computational Biophysics, Antimicrobial Resistance, Predictive Modelling, Biomolecular Simulations, Conformational Analyses, Machine Learning, and Disease Mechanisms 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.
