Maj Gen (Dr) Raman Marwaha was the former Additional Director, Senior Consultant & Head, Department of Endocrinology and Thyroid Research Centre, Institute of Nuclear Medicine & Allied Sciences, DRDO, Ministry of Defense. He was also the President of the Indian Society for Bone & Mineral Research (ISBMR) and is presently member Scientific Panel on ‘Nutrition and Food Fortification, FSSAI and Scientific advisor (Projects), International Life Sciences Institute (India) and Advisor Projects, Department of Endocrinology, AIIMS, New Delhi & BR Sur Homeopathic College. He has been a Commonwealth and WHO Fellow in 1985 and 1987 respectively and acquired a Fellowship in Molecular Endocrinology in 2000. A pioneer in the field of endocrine research, he has more than 137 publications national & international papers published in highly reputed journals. He has delivered several prestigious orations. He has been honoured with several national awards and recognition for his original work in the field of endocrinology especially endocrine imaging, Vitamin D deficiency and thyroid disorders.
Dr. Anis Rahman is an acclaimed scientist in the field of semiconductor and nanotechnology. He is a winner of many scientific awards including NASA Nanotech Brief’s "Nano-50" award twice; CLEO/Laser Focus World's "Innovation award;" and "2015 MP Corrosion Innovation of the Year," by the NACE. Anis is the founder of Applied Research & Photonics (ARP) a leading Terahertz (T-ray) company located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (see http://arphotonics.net), serving the semiconductor and nanotechnology industry. Among others, he invented the "Dendrimer Dipole Excitation," a new mechanism for high power, continuous wave T-ray generation. With this T-ray, ARP has created a number of new scientific instruments including a camera-less lattice resolution 3D imaging technology that can see and analyze below the surface of semiconductors and nanomaterials. Anis is a recognized scientific leader and member of scientific organizations including the American Chemical Society (ACS) and The Optical Society of America (senior member). He is the chair of the optical metrology technical group of the OSA, past chair of the Small Chemical Businesses Division, and past chair of the local chapter of the ACS. Anis also received awards from the OMICS International keynote recognition, Center for Dermal Research, Rutgers University.

Anelia Kostadinova currently holds the position of
Associate Professor in the "Lipid-Protein Interactions" Section at
the Institute of Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering at the Bulgarian Academy
of Sciences (BAS). Her scientific interests into establishing the interaction of different types of cell lines with
synthetic or natural material, as well as nanoscale materials (nanoparticles)
for application in modern biomedicine: The evaluation of the biocompatibility
and applicability of these biomaterials is carried out by considering
cytotoxicity and following changes in the adhesive phenotype of cells, cell
contacts and especially changes in the cell boundary complex, the first
structure with which materials interact. The contribution nature of the
research is fundamental – establishing the mechanisms of the changes in the
cell membrane by means of different signaling molecules and pathways that have
an impact on the cell border complex and cell physiology.
Title: Antibacterial and Antiphotoageing Agents: Zein-based Nanoparticles Encapsulating Lupulone
Time: 10:00 - 10:30
