Karthik is presently working as Team Leader, Synthetic Biology at Salem Microbes Pvt. Ltd, Salem, India. He has completed his postdoctoral fellowship in ECUST, Shanghai, China under the guidance of eminent scientist Prof. Lixin Zhang. He received his Ph.D. degree in Microbiology from the VIT University in 2013. He had published around 70 research papers in international and national peer reviewed journals (Nanomedicine, PLOS ONE, Parasitology research) (H-index:16). He is reviewer in several reputed journals. He is Life member in IAAM, Chemical Biology Society, European Society of Nanomedicine, Indian Association of Parasitology, International Society for Applied Life Sciences and Communication committee member of International chemical biology society. In 2016, he got Prestigious "Young Scientist Award" from Indian Association of Applied Microbiologists for his outstanding research work. and also, he got Best Research scholar award-2012 from VIT University. He got 200 young scientist-2012 fellowship (DST) for to attend International conference. Pushpamalar Janarthanan currently is a senior lecturer and the deputy director of Monash-Industry Palm Oil Education and Research (MIPO) in the Monash University Malaysia. She received her PhD in Applied Polymer Chemistry from Monash University Australia in 2010 and her BSc and MSc degree in Polymer Chemistry and Pure Chemistry, respectively from University Putra Malaysia in 1996 and 1999, respectively. In 2012, she was awarded the Pro-Vice-Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Research and in 2015, the TienTe Lee Biomedical Foundation awarded her research the Excellent Scientific Paper Award for 2014. In 2016, her research was further recognized with a Gold Medal at the International Invention and Innovation Exhibition organized by Malaysian Innovation Design Society, under the auspices of MOSTI. Currently, Dr. Pushpamalar supervises 10 PhD students and one Masters student by research. As the Deputy Director of MIPO, she serves as a platform contact point for university-industry-government cooperation to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of the palm oil industry in the country. She has a strong interest in helping the next generation of scientists through the organization of several workshops and science carnivals for secondary school students, and she also appointed as a Panel Judge for the National Science Fair for Young Children. She also actively participates as an associate member of the Malaysian Institute of Chemistry in organizing national and international conferences. Her research aims to develop biodegradable polymers for compostable plastics and control release of active agents for various industrial applications such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, antimicrobial medical devices, wastewater treatment and functional food.
