Biography

Anurag Kumar Singh is currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Cancer Biology Research and Training at the Department of Biological Sciences, Alabama State University (USA). He has completed his doctoral degree from the Centre of Experimental Medicine and Surgery, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. He earned M. Pharm degree from the School of Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy, Central University of Rajasthan, Ajmer, Rajasthan, India. His scholarly interests range from developing novel nano-particulate systems for brain-targeted drug delivery, including dendrimer, nanoporous silica/silicon materials, and polymeric-based nanoparticles for controlled drug delivery to diagnostics and therapy. His research interests include the development of nanoparticles/nanomedicines for biomedical and healthcare applications and building a bridge between engineering, pharmaceutical, and medical research. He has published several research papers, including reviews, journal editorials, and book chapters in various peer-reviewed National and International journals.

Vivek K. Chaturvedi is a Young-Scientist Fellow (Department of Health Research, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare) at Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. Before joining the laboratory as Young-Scientist Fellow, He worked as Postdoctoral research associate at Department of Gastroenterology, IMS-BHU, Varanasi. He earned his Ph.D. degree in Biotechnology from University of Allahabad (a central university), Prayagraj, India. He has received his B.Sc. degree in Zoology, Chemistry and M.Sc. degree in Biochemistry from Veer Bahadur Singh Purvanchal University, Jaunpur, India. Dr. Chaturvedi’s research interests include the synthesis and functionalization of nanomaterials as well as their fabrication for the development of various biosensors that may be useful for the early detection and treatment of Cancer and Gastrointestinal diseases. He has voluntarily served as reviewer and published a number of original articles in peer-reviewed high impact journals along with many international books, magazine articles and chapters.

Jay Singh is currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry, Institute of Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, since 2017. He received his Ph.D. degree in Polymer Science from Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology in 2010 and obtained his MSc and BSc from Allahabad University, Uttar Pradesh, India. He has held postdoctoral fellowships at the National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi, Chonbuk National University, South Korea, and Delhi Technological University, Delhi. Dr. Jay has been honored with prestigious fellowships such as CSIR (RA), DST-Young Scientist Fellowship, and DST-INSPIRE Faculty Award. His research focuses on the development of chemically and biologically synthesized nanomaterials and their nanobiocomposites, conducting polymers, and self-assembled monolayers. He is dedicated to creating clinically significant biosensors and sensors for the estimation of various bioanalytes based on enzymes, antibodies, DNA, and toxic chemicals and gases.
