He also has another M.Sc. degree in Bioinformatics from Punjab Technical University, India. In year 2009, he joined INMAS, DRDO, Delhi, India, as Scientist ‘C’. He is presently working in the area of stem cell research, microencapsulation, regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and omics data mining and analysis for repairing/ regenerating various types of tissues for Defence application. He has been awarded with many fellowships, project grants, and has published many articles including manuscripts, patents, book chapters etc. Dr. Neeraj Kumar Satija PhD is working as a Senior Scientist at CSIR-Indian Institute of Toxicology Research, Lucknow, India. He completed his B.Tech and M.Tech in Biotechnology from School of Biotechnology, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Delhi, India. Thereafter, he undertook doctoral studies at Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences, Delhi, India, elucidating role of Wnt signaling and its downstream target genes in mediating osteoblast differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells, and identified lithium as a priming agent for enhancing osteogenic differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells. In 2014, he joined CSIR-Indian Institute of Toxicology Research, Lucknow, India, as a Scientist. His group is working in varied disciples such as stem cell toxicology, embryonic stem cell differentiation, leukemia chemoresistance and wound healing. He has mentored a number of graduate/post-graduate students and is guiding Ph.D. scholars. Dr. Pawan Kumar Raghav is currently a researcher the School of Medicine, Department of Surgery, University of California, San Francisco. He is developing novel approaches for investigating immune/inflammatory mechanisms of allograft injury and discovering new biomarkers and therapeutics in solid organ and bone marrow transplantation. He is the recipient of several awards and honors, including the ICMR Travel Award to deliver an oral talk in 11th world congress & expo on cell & stem cell research in Orlando, FL; Research Excellence Award from the Institute of Scholars, best Research Award from Science Father, and was invitated to present the research proposal at BioMed X GmbH, Germany. He has published more than 40 publications, including international research articles, book chapters, books, and intellectual property rights for patents. He is also reviewer and editor of special collections for several international journals and books. Nishant Tyagi MSc is an Indian-born Senior Research Fellow, presently working at Stem Cells and Gene Therapy Research Group, Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences under Defence Research & Development Organisation, India.
