Dr. Verma has been working as an Associate Professor & Head in the Institute of Biological Science, SAGE University, Indore, India. He has more than 15 years’ research and teaching experience in the field of biotechnology in India, Italy, South Korea, Turkey and he has published more than 50 papers in SCI journals to date. He is a recognized expert in the use of biotechnology, molecular biology, and nanotechnology techniques, giving many invited talks and presented papers at international conferences and symposia around the world. He has undergone an advanced training course on “A practical course in mammalian cell biology (MAM-TUBITAK, Turkey), “RNA structure and function (ICGEB, Italy), and “Quorum sensing in plant-associated bacteria (ICGEB, Italy). Furthermore, he has received two best oral paper presentation awards in national conferences and one young scientist award in international conference. Besides, he has also received a memento for scientific achievement from the Rector, BAIBU, Bolu, Turkey. He is a reviewer of many international peer reviewed journals.

Originally trained as a Chemist, Dr. Ashok Kumar Das has earned wide ranging research experience in working with emulsions, electrolytes, polymers, gas hydrates, targeted drug delivery using dendrimers, water harvesting technology, suspension rheology and nanomaterials processing. Currently, his research works focus on plant biotechnology, use of nanomaterials in bioconjugated materials, green synthesis of graphene and graphene oxide-based nanocomposites, preparation of dendrimer-polymer conjugates to be used as dose-dependent nanocarriers.Dr. Das has more than 35 years of research and teaching experience in India, Canada, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea and Ethiopia. For several of the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK) journals, Dr. Das regularly serves as an adjudicative reviewer.
