Edinur H. Atan is a lecturer of Forensic Science Programme at Universiti Sains Malaysia, Malaysia and Research Fellow of Australian Research Centre for Human Evolution at Griffith University. He did his MSc in Forensic Science at Universiti Sains Malaysia and PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. In 2013, he settled into his current teaching and research role at Universiti Sains Malaysia. He has strong research skills in forensics, molecular biology, genetics and bio-medicine, an impressive list of articles and books published by reputable publishers (e.g. Springer, Lancet, Nature, MDPI, PLOS, Frontiers etc.) and contacts in US, UK, Australia, New Zealand plus Malaysia and elsewhere in Europe, Africa and Middle East.Dr Edward Kofi Abban started his forensic career in 2010 as the Head of the Police DNA laboratory in Ghana. He has over 13 years of experience as a DNA analyst with specialities spanning DNA profiling and DNA investigations form the crime scene to expert representations in courts, DNA-based Identification of missing persons and disaster victims. He is also lecturer in biology education at the at the University of Ghana. He earned his PhD in DNA profiling from the University Sains Malaysia and has contributed significantly to scholarship in areas such as forensic DNA database generation for relevant forensic markers and population genetics of Ghanaian and West African populations. His area of interest include population genetics, wildlife genetics and DNA profiling methodologies. Dr. Dibyajit Lahiri is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biotechnology at the University of Engineering & Management, Kolkata, India, where he conducts advanced interdisciplinary research in microbiology, biofilms, antimicrobial resistance, and microbial biotechnology. His scholarly work emphasizes understanding the mechanisms of microbial biofilm formation and inhibition, particularly on medically relevant surfaces and environmental substrates, and exploring innovative strategies for combating biofilm-associated antimicrobial resistance. Dr. Lahiri has authored and co-authored a substantial body of scholarly work, with over 100 publications including high-impact journal articles, book chapters, and reviews. His research portfolio covers topics such as biofilm-mediated degradation of environmental pollutants, novel antibiofilm agents (including nanoscale and natural compounds), and biotechnological applications of microbial systems, with an h-index around 38 reflecting significant citation impact and academic influence.He has contributed to major scientific discussions on microbial biofilms in diverse contexts, including their roles in chronic infections, environmental microplastic degradation, and biofuel production, demonstrating both fundamental and applied research orientations. His collaborative research outputs also include contributions to antimicrobial peptide studies and microbial electrochemical systems. Dr. Lahiri serves as editor and contributor to scholarly publications in his field, and he participates actively in international research networks and editorial activities. His work is regularly presented at scientific forums and continually contributes to advancing microbial biotechnology and strategies to mitigate biofilm-associated challenges in health, industry, and the environment.
