Über den Autor / die Autorin

Dr. Yugal Kishore Mohanta is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Biology, School of Biological Sciences at the University of Science and Technology Meghalaya (USTM). His current research is green nanoparticles and its potential application in food and biomedicine. He earned his PhD in Life Sciences from North Orissa University, Baripada. He has also successfully completed the BCIL industrial training programme on Plant Tissue Culture sponsored by the Department of Biotechnology. Among other academic/research achievements, he was awarded as visiting research scholar at Department of Biology, KU Leuven, Belgium sponsored by KU Leuven. He has more than ten years research experience on natural products chemistry and nanobiotechnology. He has published in peer-reviewed SCI-indexed journals like BMC Plant Biology, Frontiers in Microbiology, Molecules, Frontiers on Plant science, Frontiers in molecular biosciences Nanobiotechnology, and Materials Focus. He has also contributed 11 book chapters and edited a book.Dr. Hemen Sarma obtained his Ph.D. in Environmental Botany [2008] from Gauhati University and pursued post-doctorate research at North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong and Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology [IASST], Guwahati, India. Presently he is serving as Senior Assistant Professor at Nandanath Saikia College, Dibrugarh University, India. His research interest includes plant-microbe interactions, and microbial nanobiotechnology. He made significant contributions to the field of emerging contaminants, endocrine disrupting compounds and persistent organic pollutants. Dr. Sarma has more than 50 publications to his credit in peer-reviewed international journals.Dr. Mahesh Narayan is a Full Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Texas at El Paso in the United States. Dr Narayan obtained his B.Sc. in Physics from Bombay University [1991], Ph.D. in Biophysics from The Ohio State University [1997], and pursued postdoctoral studies at Cornell University, USA [1997-2000] and was a Sr. Res. Assoc. at Cornell University [2002-05], USA. He has authored and co-authored several articles and book chapters in the fields of free radical biology, protein-structure function, oxidative folding, and protein misfolding, halogen bonding and in silico drug design, agricultural impact of nanomaterials, and chemical education. His work has been recognized by invitations to speak at over 15 international forums, as well as coverage in a variety of media outlets. The overall goal of his research program is to develop a better understanding of the intracellular processes and events that underlying the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. He is particularly interested in the effects of xenobiotics on amyloid proteins. This is since the majority of neurodegenerative disorders are sporadic, and environmental agents such as pesticides and certain drugs of abuse are risk factors for such neuropathies.
