Author Information

Manoj Kumar Pal received the Ph.D. degree from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, India, in 2010. During his Ph.D. studies, he worked on the development of chemical and biological sensors. He was a postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Life Sciences, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, from 2010 to 2011. He also worked as a Research Associate with the Department of Biotechnology, IIT Roorkee, from 2011 to 2012, where his research work was focused on drug encapsulation in biodegradable nanoparticles and delivery into Leishmanian infected microphages using CD14 biomarker. He did second Post-Doctoral Research at the Department of Life Science, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Israel, from 2012 to 2015. He has authored 16 research articles in peer reviewed journals and conferences of international repute. His core area of research is the utilization of different physio-chemical sensing methods in development of the new biosensing concepts for therapeutic purposes. Dr. Minhaz Uddin Ahmed is an Associate Professor of Analytical Chemistry and Biotechnology at the Universiti Brunei Darussalam. He obtained his Ph.D. in Chemical Materials Science from Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in 2008 and later worked as JSPS post-doctoral fellow at Osaka University, Japan (2008-2009), DARPA post-doctoral research associate at Duke University, USA (2009-2010) and NSERC post-doctoral fellow at INRS-EMT, Canada (2010-2012). Dr Ahmed is an alumnus of JAIST and a prestigious young participant/fellow of 57th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting for Physiology and Medicine, 2007, Germany. In 2008, he was awarded with the prestigious Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science young scientist award to work in Graduate School of Engineering of Osaka University. In 2009, he was awarded with the United States Defense Advanced Research Project Agency post-doctoral fellowship to work at Pratt School of Engineering of Duke University. Katrina Campbell is a Professor in Food Security and heads the Biosensors Strand within the Centre for ASsured, SafE and Traceable food (ASSET). Katrina is a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Institute of Biology, Irish Toxicology Society and International Society for the study of harmful algae. Katrina obtained a BSc (Hons) in Biochemistry in 1995 and a MMedSc in Ultrastructural Anatomy and Pathology in 1996 from Queen's University Belfast. Her research focussed on developing innovative biosensor screening methods for the detection of chemical contaminants, toxins and foodborne pathogens in food, animal feeds and the environment. She has extensive experience in bioanalytical method development, validation and evaluation with state-of-the-art technologies, end product formation as kits and technology transfer workshops and events for dissemination.
