Prof. Pranjal Chandra is currently serving as an Assistant Professor at the School of Biochemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi, India. He received his Ph.D. from Pusan National University, South Korea and completed his post-doctoral training at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Israel. His research focus is highly interdisciplinary, combining biotechnology, nanobiosensors, material engineering, nanomedicine etc. He has designed several commercially viable biosensing prototypes that can be used for onsite analysis in the context of biomedical diagnostics. He has published four books on various aspects of biosensors / medical diagnostics with IET London, Springer Nature, and CRC Press USA, as well as over 100 journal articles in the leading journals / books in his research area. He is the recipient of many prestigious awards and fellowships, e.g. the DST Ramanujan Fellowship (Government of India); ECRA (DST, Government of India); BK-21 and NRF Fellowship, South Korea; Technion Post-doctoral Fellowship, Israel; NMS Young Scientist Award; BRSI Young Scientist Award; RSC Highly Cited Corresponding Author Award (general chemistry); and ACS / Elsevier Outstanding Reviewer Awards. He is a reviewer for over 50 international journals and expert project reviewer for various national / international funding agencies. Further, he is an Associate Editor of the journal Sensors International and an editorial board member of Materials Science for Energy Technologies; World Journal of Methodology, USA; Frontiers of Biosciences, USA; and Reports in Physical Sciences, Singapore
