Dr. Naresh Kasoju is a Scientist at Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. He obtained his Ph.D. in Biotechnology from Indian Institute of Technology and postdoctoral experience from Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Prague, Czech Republic and University of Oxford, Oxford, UK. His research interests include mesenchymal stem cells-based therapeutics for regenerative medicine, natural polymers-based biomaterials for biomedical applications, and 3D bioprinting based approaches for tissue engineering. He filed 06 Indian patents and 03 Indian design registrations and has published 70+ articles, with 4500+ citations. He's editor of 3 books, guest editor for 3 special issues, editorial board member for 2 journals and reviewer for 50+ journals. He's a member of National Academy of Science, India and Royal Society of Biology, UK. Recently, he received Young Scientist Award by Indian Academy of Biomedical Sciences, Lucknow for his outstanding contributions in biomaterials, stem cells and tissue engineering.

Prof. Ye obtained DPhil in Biochemical Engineering from University of Oxford, Oxford, UK in 2005, followed by post-doctoral training from Department of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London, UK, before joining University of Oxford, Oxford, UK in 2007. Within the broad research area of tissue engineering and stem cell technologies, Prof. Ye’s specific research interests lie in three interconnected areas, i.e. in vitro cancer model, biomaterials and bioreactor for tissue engineering and stem cell expansion. Prof. Ye is a Fellow of Linacre College, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.
