Nano-Engineering at Functional Interfaces for Multidisciplinary Applications

Dr. Sai Sathish Ramamurthy’s research is focuses on the development of indigenously designed low-cost medical diagnostic technologies that have a translational and convergent approach for the benefit of society. Recently, his research work on the development of COVID-19 diagnostic technology resulted in low-cost high-sensitive SARS-CoV-19 antigen and antibodies detection kits. His collaboration with research groups at various universities in the USA, Australia, Japan and India have resulted in several publications in reputed journals, conferences, patents, books and book chapters. He was a Ramalingaswami Fellow, Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, and received research funding from Govt agencies such as DST, DBT, DRDO, ICMR and also from Non-Govt agencies such as Tata Education and Development Trust. He created the Surface Plasmon based Translational and Advanced Research (STAR) laboratory that has developed multiple biomedical technologies targeting the whitespaces in the medical diagnostics capable for usage in resource-limited settings, especially for the bottom of the pyramid Dr. Seemesh Bhaskar is a Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology (IGB) fellow at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), USA. He completed his Ph.D. from STAR Lab, Central Research Instruments Facility (CRIF), SSSIHL, and postdoctoral studies from NanoStructured Materials (NSM) group, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay. He has pursued research internships at SASTRA University and the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, as part of the DST-Inspire program. He is the recipient of the prestigious DST-Inspire scholarship & fellowship, AWSAR, K. V. Rao Scientific Society (KVRSS), Young Achiever, M.Sc. Chemistry Gold medal and All-rounder Gold medal awards. His research work focuses on building effective nano-engineering protocols for photo-plasmonic biosensing at advanced interfaces comprising sustainable bioinspired polymeric hybrids. Dr. Narendra Reddy is a professor and Ramalingaswami fellow at the Centre for Incubation, Innovation, Research and Consultancy, at Jyothy Institute of Technology, Bengaluru, India. His work has been reported by CNN, Discovery, Nature, American Chemical Society and other major news agencies. He has received funds from his research from United States Department of Agriculture, DST, DBT and CEFIPRA (India-France joint funding). His recent interest is in plant and animal proteins for non-food applications particularly for biotechnology. His group has demonstrated that proteins can be useful for energy generation and storage, and for biosensing and electronic applications
