Dr. Sanket Joshi is currently a Professor at the Amity Institute of Microbial Technology, Amity University, Rajasthan, India. He has academic teaching and research experience of about 16 years, and industrial R&D experience of about 4 years in India and Oman. While working in Indian pharma companies, he undertook several turnkey projects. His current research interests encompass energy (In-situ/ex-situ microbial enhanced light/heavy oil recovery; chemical enhanced oil Recovery; biofuels), microbial products (biosurfactants, biopolymers, R&D and scale-up), and environmental bioremediation (crude oil pollution; analysis, mitigation and control of souring by Sulfate reducing bacteria; HPAM contaminated sites). He has about 125 scientific publications in international journals, book chapters, and conference proceedings, and two books to his credit. He is an Academic/Associate Editor for: Frontiers in Microbiology, PeerJ, Ecotoxicology (Springer), Petroleum Science and Technology (Springer), Biotech (Springer), and Open Biotechnology Journal; guest editor for Frontiers in Microbiology, Sustainability, Scientifica, and Open Biotechnology Journal. Susmita Mukherjee, Professor and Head of the Department, Biotechnology, University of Engineering & Management, Kolkata. She has done B. Sc. & M. Sc. from University of Kalyani, India and PhD from Indian Institute of Engineering Science & Technology, Shibpur, India. Her research interest is on ecotoxicology and environmental remediation. She has worked on the East Kolkata Wetlands, the Ramsar site in West Bengal. Her major work is on arsenic remediation. She has more than fifteen years of teaching experience. She is Associate Editor of the journal, Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Springer-Nature, Managing Editor of American Journal of Bio-Technology Research, SMART Society, USA. She has acted as guest editor in journals by Springer-Nature, ELSEVIER, Taylor and Frances and edited books published by these publication houses. She has published may research papers in journals of international repute and two patents published. Moupriya Nag is presently working as Associate Professor in the Department of Biotechnology, University of Engineering & Management, Kolkata. Her research interests includes single molecule Biophysics of protein unfolding/refolding and protein aggregation kinetics and its mechanism of action especially the amyloid proteins in neurodegenerative disorders. Recently, her research focuses on functional amyloids in bacteria and their relation in forming biofilms. Her work deals with developing novel antimicrobial and anti-biofilm compounds from natural sources including plants, microbes and green synthesized nanoparticles. She has about seven years of teaching experience in Biophysics, Bioinformatics, Bioprocess and Biotechnology, Enzyme Technology, Computing, Molecular Modelling and Drug Design. She has also published many research articles in the peer-reviewed international journals and authored/edited or co-authored/edited numerous books/book chapters. She is also a member of many scientific societies like Indian Biophysical Society and Indian Science Congress Association.
