Autophagy Processes and Mechanisms details the process of autophagy and its significance in diseases and aging. It provides insights into autophagy mechanisms and processes to broaden our understanding. By collecting recent progress on several aspects of the autophagy process, it provides a more integrative perspective and serves as a resource that can influence future research initiatives in the field. This new book is appropriate for basic and applied researchers in cell biology, biologists and those working in the pharmaceutical sciences.

Info autore
Rohan Dhiman is Associate Professor in the Department of Life Science at Rourkela, Odisha, India. He completed his Ph.D. at Institute of Microbial Technology, Chandigarh before moving to University of Texas Health Science Centre at Tyler for post-doctorate training. After four years there with virulent mycobacteria to study the role of NK cells, regulatory T-cells and monocyte heterogeneity in tuberculosis, he returned to India and joined as a Research Scientist in Translational Health Science and Technology Institute where he started studying different facets of pathways related to autophagy and post-translational modification regulated by mycobacterium in infected macrophages. After joining in current institute in 2014, he started his independent lab and currently focusing on screening some libraries w.r.t. autophagy induction ability of the molecules and Calcimycin is one of the compounds that his lab found through this approach. He has published 35 papers till now and co-authored different book chapters.Sujit Kumar Bhutia is currently working as an Associate Professor at the Department of Life Science, National Institute of Technology in Rourkela, India. He received his doctorate in cell biology and cancer from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India in 2008, and subsequently pursued post-doctoral research on autophagy and cancer at Virginia Commonwealth University, USA. His research interests are focused on understanding the role of autophagy and autophagy-dependent cell death in cancer for the development of novel therapeutics. He has published more than 90 research articles in international peer-reviewed journals and authored or co-authored numerous books and book chapters. He is also serving as a referee for several international journals. Dr. Bhutia has more than 10 years of teaching experience in the areas of cell biology, cell signaling, cancer biology, and cell death.
