member) with the Indian Pharmacy Council, New Delhi, India. Her interest to develop software tools for healthcare motivated Kalpana to earn Master of Science in Computing: Software Technology from School of Computing, The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK. She completed her second Master of Science degree in Bioinformatics from Bharathiar University, India. Kalpana also completed PhD in Computing: Software Technology - Bioinformatics (inter-disciplinary) from Bharathiar University, India. Recently, Kalpana is honored with Member of Royal Society of Biology (MRSB) from The Royal Society, London, UK. Kalpana gained her post-doctoral training at Department of Preventive Medicine, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, USA, and Department of Dermatology, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann arbor, USA. Now, she is working as a post-doctoral research associate at Regenerative Biology, The Morgridge Institute for Research, Affiliatedwith University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, USA. Kalpana has published more than 50 research articles in leading journals including Nature Communications, books, and conferences. She has contributed as an editor, associate editor, and reviewer in 10 journals including Briefings in Bioinformatics with impact factor 9.101 and Bioinformatics with impact factor 4.531. In this book, she has applied text mining for microbiology. Though text mining is applied to many biological areas, her attempt to apply it to fungal siderophores is the first application in the field of microbiology.
