Nanotechnology in Modern Animal Biotechnology

Dr. Sanjay Singh is currently an Associate Professor at the Division of Biological and Life Sciences, Ahmedabad University, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Dr. Singh obtained his Ph.D. from CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, India and continued his research work as postdoctoral fellow at the University of Central Florida and Pennsylvania State University, USA. His research work includes the synthesis of novel anti-cancerous drug formulation and nanomaterials with biological enzyme-like characteristics. Utilizing these materials, he has established several strategies for cancer treatment and detection of biomolecules to protect mammalian cells and developed non-antibiotic antibacterial agents. He has been bestowed with several national and international awards such as Endeavour Research Fellowship (2015), YY Memorial Award (2016), International Association of Advanced Materials Scientist Medal (2017), and EMBO Fellowship (2018). He has published 1 edited book, 5 book chapters, and over 70 research articles in various reputed international journals. He has also worked as guest editor of few annual meeting of the Society for Redox Biology and Medicine (SfRBM) and currently serving as Associate Editor in Cheif for the journals “3Biotech” (Springer Nature) and OncoTargets and Therapy (Dove Press). Dr. Pawan Kumar Maurya is currently employed as Associate Professor  & Head at Department of Biochemistry, Central University of Haryana (Gov. of India), India. Dr. Maurya is also Deputy Director at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Kaushal Kendra (DDUKK), Central University of Haryana, India. He did his B.Sc. Biology (1998-2001), M.Sc. in Biochemistry (2001-2003),(First Rank) and Ph.D in Biochemistry from Allahabad University (2003-2008). He did his post-doctoral training from Taipei Medical University (2011-2012), Taiwan and Federal University of Sao Paulo (2014-2016), Brazil.
