Systems Biology Approaches: Prevention, Diagnosis, and Understanding Mechanisms of Complex Diseases (PDF)

Dr. Moupriya Nag is presently working as assistant professor in the department of biotechnology, University of Engineering & Management, Kolkata, India. Her Postdoctoral work was focused on exploring the aggregation kinetics and mechanism of action of peptides associated with neurodegenerative diseases in presence of various membrane surfaces with solution NMR. Her research interests include single molecule Biophysics of protein unfolding/refolding and protein aggregation kinetics and its mechanism of action especially the amyloid proteins in neurodegenerative disorders. Recently, her research focuses on functional amyloids in bacteria and their relation in forming biofilms. Her work deals with developing novel antimicrobial and anti-biofilm compounds from natural sources including plants, microbes and green synthesized nanoparticles. She has about 5 years of teaching experience in biophysics, bioinformatics, bioprocess and biotechnology, enzyme technology, computing, molecular modeling, and drug design. She has also published many research articles in the peer-reviewed international journal and authored or co-authored numerous book chapters. She is also a member of many scientific societies like Indian Biophysical Society and Indian Science Congress Association.







Dr. Dibyajit Lahiri is working as assistant professor in the department of biotechnology, University of Engineering & Management, Kolkata, India. He has experience of working with various chromatographic techniques and isolation of bioactive compounds from different plant samples. His current research interest is precisely on biofilm isolated from human prosthesis and its inhibition by various novel 'phyto and nano' compounds. He is keen to explore the molecular mechanism behind the removal of biofilm by natural compounds. His research arena also encompasses computational drug development by using bioinformatics. Dr. Lahiri was awarded best teacher award and best paper awardsfrom UEM, Kolkata. He is a life Member of Indian Science Congress Association and Institution of Engineers (India).
