Chemical and Immunological Strategies in Cancer Therapeutics

Dr. Vibhav Gautam integrates ethnopharmacology, nanobiotechnology, and omics sciences to develop targeted cancer therapeutics, with a primary focus on breast and urinary bladder cancers. His research has led to the identification of bioactive compounds from fungal endophytes that demonstrate apoptosis-inducing activity in breast cancer models. He has also developed nanomedicine-based drug delivery systems to improve therapeutic efficacy while reducing systemic toxicity. In addition, his omics-driven studies have contributed to the identification of novel biomarkers and the advancement of personalized cancer therapy.Dr. Navin Kumar Verma completed his PhD and postdoctoral training in Clinical Medicine at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. He is currently an Associate Professor of Immunology and Cell Biology at Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. His research focuses on T-cell immunology in wound healing and cancer. Dr. Verma has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles, holds multiple patents, and has received several national and international awards. He is an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology, UK.Dr. Rajiv Kumar received his Master’s and PhD degrees in Biochemistry from Banaras Hindu University and completed postdoctoral training at QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, Australia. His research focuses on cellular and molecular immunology of parasitic diseases, diagnostics, and therapeutic development. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, India, and the National Academy of Medical Sciences, India. Dr. Kumar has received several prestigious awards and has published extensively in high-impact international journals in immunology and translational medicine.Prof. Sanjeev Kumar Gupta is a distinguished surgeon and academician with extensive national and international recognition.
