2Dr. Shilpa S. Chapadgaonkar
Head- Molecular Biosciences research cluster
Faculty of Engineering & Technology
Manav Rachna International University
Faridabad, Haryana
INDIA
Mobile No : 9818897755
email id : shilpas.fet@mriu.edu.in
Experience : 9 years
Specialization : Animal tissue culture

Research Interests
My experience has enriched and spurred my interest in the field of bioprocess technology. Bioprocess Technology is essential for translating the discoveries of biotechnology into tangible commercial products, thereby reaping the benefits of biotechnology.

Large scale animal cell culture: There is an immense need of development of efficient processes for the production of biopharmaceuticals. I am working for development of model systems for study of human diseases.

Enzyme Technology: Enzymes are exciting molecules to work with. My research focuses to work on immobilization of enzymes, enzymes from extremophiles, enzymes for activation of prodrugs etc.

New drugs and drug delivery methods: New drugs and new drug delivery systems are required to improve the safety and efficacy of the drugs. Development in new Drug delivery systems would offer the additional benefits of ease of administration, increased patient compliance, decreased side effects and cost reduction.

Tissue engineering: Development in the field of tissue engineering has yielded a novel set of tissue replacement parts & implementation strategies. Research in biomaterials, stem cells, growth factors propelled the growth of tissues in vitro in laboratory from combinations of scaffolds, cells and biologically active molecules. More research is required to achieve the development of functional organs and complex functional body parts by tissue engineering approaches.

Experience : 11.5 years
Specialization : Plant Biotechnology & Stress Physiology

Research Interests
The focus of my research is to explore the Cad presence and functions in higher plants, so as to throw some light on future prospects. Areas of specialization include establishing and maintenance of plant cell and tissue cultures, studying different molecular mechanisms underlying abiotic stress and stress induced signaling pathways in plants and how polyamines especially Cad helps in mitigation stress conditions in different plants. Furthermore the PA’s roles are confirmed at the molecular level also. Moreover in recent past PA presence in brain is suggested to be involved in damage repair and cancer prevention. This medical pharmacological aspect needs detail investigation for developing precise, specific aid to ailing people.

Assistant Professor, Department of Biotechnology
Faculty of Engineering & Technology

Experience : 4 years
Specialization : Nanobiotechnology, Drug delivery
Publications : 14

Research Interests
Nanoparticles mediated gene delivery has attracted the attention of researchers both in academia and industry.

Nanoparticles owing to their small size easily traverse across the cellular membrane. For enhancing the bioavailability of the entrapped molecules and also to achieve the desired therapeutic response of the molecules, the nanoparticulate size of the matrix is desired. Nanoparticulate systems are attractive methods of delivery owing to the versatility, ease of preparation, and protection conferred to encapsulated gene of interest or drug.

These carrier systems provide protection to the entrapped drug or gene during transit in the systemic circulation. Nanoparticles usually have a high surface area to volume ratio and thus, are able to efficiently encapsulate nucleic acids or drugs efficiently.

These particles can be made to reach a target site by attaching cell-specific ligands, thereby making these vectors reach specific tissues and cells in the body.


4Dr. Kapila Kumar
Assistant Professor, Department of Biotechnology
Faculty of Engineering & Technology
Manav Rachna International University

Email id : kapila.fet@ mriu.edu.in
Experience : 2.5 years
Specialization : Infectious Diseases,Therapeutics and Functional Genomics

I joined Department of Biotechnology, FET, MRIU as an Assistant Professor in 2015. My research areas focus on infectious diseases, Therapeutics and functional Genomics. Before joining MRIU, I completed my Ph.D. in 2013 under the guidance of Dr. Sanjay Gupta from JIIT, Noida. I have worked on DBT and DST funded research projects in collaboration with Delhi University with focus on the interaction studies for Chandipura and Chikungunya viruses as is evident from my publications in the area. I have International and national publications in high impact journals. I did my post-graduation in specialized field of Human Genomics from Panjab University, Chandigarh from and graduation in Genetics from Kurukshetra University. I was University second Rank holder both at UG and PG levels. I have qualified National Eligibility (NET) test conducted by CSIR.

My research interests are to better understand the virus-host protein interactions, identify host proteins or pathways required by some emerging and reemerging viruses. Some proteomic approaches with molecular virology, genomic, and bioinformatics based approaches can be combined to achieve these goals. Some high-throughput proteomic technologies for screening and mapping virus-host interactomes and for screening small molecule libraries for inhibitors of protein-protein interactions can be applied in the continuous process of exploring newer antiviral approaches.
