He has received fellowship for his master’s programme from MHRD, Govt. ofIndia and Rajiv Gandhi National Fellowship, from Govt. of India for his doctoral work. Hisareas of interest include Bioactive components from natural sources, Optimisation,Mathematical modelling, Phytochemicals, Data science etc. He has authored more than 135research papers (93 SCIE/SCI; 42 Scopus) and filed 1 patent till date. He is engaged asEditor and Editorial board member of several SCI journals of repute and currently editing a number of books with Springer, Wiley and Elsevier.Dr. Dibyajit LahiriDibyajit Lahiri is at present working as an Associate Professor in the Department ofBiotechnology, University of Engineering & Management, Kolkata. His research interest isprecisely on biofilm isolated from human prosthesis and its inhibition by various novel phytoand nano compounds. He is keen to explore the molecular mechanism behind the removal ofbiofilm by natural compounds. His research arena also encompasses computational drugdevelopment by using bioinformatic. His work is regularly being presented andappreciated before a number of experts of National and International repute. He has morethan 100 publications. Dr. Lahiri has edited 5 books. He is also in the role of associate editorsof various journals of international reputes.Dr. Moupriya NagMoupriya Nag is presently working as Associate Professor in the Department ofBiotechnology, University of Engineering & Management, Kolkata. Her research interestsincludes single molecule Biophysics of protein unfolding/refolding and protein aggregationkinetics and its mechanism of action especially the amyloid proteins in neurodegenerative disorders. Recently, her research has focused on functional amyloids in bacteria and their relationin forming biofilms. Her work deals with developing novel antimicrobial and anti-biofilmcompounds from natural sources including plants, microbes and green synthesizednanoparticles. She has about 5 years of teaching experience in Biophysics, Bioinformatics,Bioprocess and Biotechnology, Enzyme Technology, Computing, Molecular Modeling andDrug Design. She has also published many research articles in the peer-reviewedinternational journal and authored or co-authored numerous book chapters. She is also amember of many scientific societies like the Indian Biophysical Society and the Indian ScienceCongress AssociationDr. Debasmita BhattacharyaDebasmita Bhattacharya obtained her Masters and Doctoral degree in Cellular, Molecularand Integrative Physiology, Faculty of Health from York University. She did her Post-Doctoral fellowship in Dr. David Hood’s lab at York University. At present, her researchfocusses on the functional outcome of mitochondrial transplantation in stem and progenitorcells. She is also investigating the implications of lysosomal malfunction in cellular modeland finding strategies to mitigate it in order to improve health. She has proven expertise instem cell biology, cellular physiology, cancer biology, mitochondrial biology and exercisephysiology. One of her studies entitled “p107 mediated mitochondrial function controlsmuscle stem cell proliferative fates” has been published in Nature Communications and hasbeen appreciated by eminent scholars in the field. Bhattacharya has disseminated herresearch through peer reviewed journal articles, as well as poster and oral presentations at toptier academic conferences. She worked as Professor at Humber College, Canada inBiotechnology and Biomedical Sciences Department. At present she is working as Professorin the Department of Basic Science and Humanities, Institute of Engineering andManagement, Kolkata, University of Engineering and Management, Kolkata.
