O autorze

Ajeet Kumar Kaushik, PhD, is a faculty member at the Centre of Personalized Nanomedicine, Department of Immunology of Florida International University (FIU), Miami, Florida, USA. He is exploring smart electro-active magnetic nanocarriers for on-demand site-specific delivery and controlled release of therapeutics across BBB to prevent HIV, a new approach to neuroAIDS. He has worked as a postdoctoral research associate in the area of fabrication of BioMEMS-based electrochemical biosensors for biomarker detection using nanostructures at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of FIU. He has also worked at Chungnam National University, Deajeon, Korea, as a Visiting Researcher and at Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland, as a research assistant. He has published over 70+ international research papers jointly in the area of nanostructured platforms for biosensor and drug delivery applications. His main research interest is the fabrication of nanomedicine and wearable sensors for personalized health care. Dr. Kaushik received his PhD (chemistry and biosensors) in collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory and Jamia Milia Islamia, New Delhi, India.

Chandra K. Dixit, PhD, is working as a postdoctoral associate in the area of disease diagnostics, microfluidics systems for POC, nanoimprinted polymers, and electrochemical biosensors at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Connecticut. He has acquired significant experience in biosensors, microfluidics, and disease diagnostics from his previous postdoctoral research. His future research focus is in the field of developing cheap diagnostics for field applications. He has published over 20 international research papers in the area of biosensors, microfluidics, and disease diagnostics. Dr. Dixit received his Masters degree from CCS University, in Meerut, India, and his PhD in Biotechnology from Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland, where he worked with Professors Richard O’Kennedy, Colette McDonagh, and Brian MacCraith as his PhD supervisors.
