Biography

Dr. Anima Nanda holding the post of Dean for the School of Bio & Chemical Engineering at Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology (Deemed to be University), Chennai, India has credited with Ph. D. degrees in Microbiology from Berhampur University, Odisha. Dr. Nanda is a renowned professor heading four departments like, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Department of Biotechnology, Department of Bioinformatics and Department of Chemical Engineering with specialized in Microbial Nanotechnology. Her laboratory studies on the role of bacteria and fungi in human health by using nanotechnology to have a better control over broad spectrum antibiotics. Her publications proved the novel bio-nanomaterials synthesized in her lab by using various fungi and bacteria isolated from various sources have a targeted therapy against human pathogenic and broad spectrum antibiotic resistant bacteria in Septicemia (MRSA and MRSE), Multi Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR Tb) and Extra Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (XDR Tb).  In addition to this Dr. Nanda has been heavily involved in promoting microbial nanotechnology as the cornerstone in the field of biology in India. Currently she has two ongoing Govt. of India sponsored projects worth of 1.5 crore and two are in process. She has research tie up with reputed institutions in National and international level. She has worked with several eminent personalities of the world at various places. Recently the mutual work progressed on Biopolymers of novel nanomaterials on human health between her University with the Tomosk Polytechnic University, Russia, where she is pioneered the fabrication of bio- nanomaterials and synthesis of green chemistry. Apart from this she has more than 142 publications in high impacted national and international journals along with more than 125 publications in international and national conferences. To her credit she has produced 11 Ph. D. students and 5 are continuing. She has delivered more than 73 lecturers as an invited speaker in national and international level.
