Nanosensors for Point-Of-Care Diagnostics of Pathogenic Bacteria

Dr. Amitabha Acharya is working as a senior scientist at the Nanobiology Laboratory, Biotechnology Division, CSIR-IHBT, Palampur. He completed his PhD from Department of Chemistry, IIT Bombay under the supervision of Prof. CP Rao after obtaining his Master's degree from BHU, India. At CSIR-IHBT, his group is involved in using the nanotechnological platform for specific biomedical applications. The multidisciplinary group focused on the development of anti-amyloidogenic and fibril destabilization nanomaterials and anti-bacterial/anti-biofilm nanomaterials. His group is also involved in designing novel nanozyme as point-of-care (PoC) diagnostics for biosensing and immunoassay applications with a specific focus toward bacterial diseases. He has published over 37 articles in peer-reviewed international journals. He has also four patents to his credit. He has contributed to a monograph with Springer and authored more than four book chapters. He has served as reviewer for a number of international journals and projects and is a life member of several scientific societies and organizations.

Dr. Nitin Singhal is a highly accomplished scientist with a strong background in Bio-Inorganic Chemistry. He received his MSc from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee and his PhD from IIT Bombay, where he focused on the study of the synthesis of glycoconjugates and their interaction with lectin protein. After completing his PhD, Nitin conducted his postdoctoral research at Seoul National University in South Korea. After his postdoctoral studies, Dr Nitin joined as a scientist at the National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute in Mohali, India. Nitin has published more than 70 research papers in top-tier scientific journals, and peers have widely recognized his work. Dr Nitin received a Fulbright fellowship in 2018 and participated in program to conduct counting edge research. Nitin was also selected as an INSA member in the year 2021. Heis known for his deep understanding of his field, innovative problem-solving approach, and dedication to his students.

Dr. Amitabha Acharya 目前擔任 CSIR-IHBT（印度科學與工業研究理事會-印度生物技術研究所）生物技術部門的納米生物學實驗室高級科學家。他在印度理工學院孟買分校的化學系完成博士學位，指導教授為 CP Rao 教授，並在此之前獲得了印度瓦拉納西大學的碩士學位。在 CSIR-IHBT，他的團隊專注於利用納米技術平台進行特定的生物醫學應用。這個多學科團隊專注於開發抗澱粉樣蛋白質生成和纖維不穩定化的納米材料，以及抗菌/抗生物膜的納米材料。他的團隊還參與設計新型納米酶，作為針對細菌疾病的即時檢測（PoC）診斷工具，專注於生物感測和免疫測定應用。他已在同行評審的國際期刊上發表超過 37 篇文章，並擁有四項專利。他還為 Springer 出版了一本專著，並撰寫了四篇以上的書章。他曾擔任多個國際期刊和項目的審稿人，並是多個科學學會和組織的終身會員。

Dr. Nitin Singhal 是一位成就卓越的科學家，擁有生物無機化學的堅實背景。他在印度理工學院魯爾基分校獲得碩士學位，並在印度理工學院孟買分校獲得博士學位，研究重點為糖偶聯物的合成及其與凝集素蛋白的相互作用。完成博士學位後，Nitin 在韓國首爾國立大學進行博士後研究。博士後研究結束後，Nitin 以科學家的身份加入印度莫哈利的國家農業食品生物技術研究所。Nitin 在頂尖科學期刊上發表了超過 70 篇研究論文，並受到同行的廣泛認可。Nitin 在 2018 年獲得富布萊特獎學金，參加了進行前沿研究的計畫。Nitin 於 2021 年被選為印度科學院（INSA）成員。他以對自己領域的深刻理解、創新的問題解決方法以及對學生的奉獻精神而聞名。
