Advanced Biosensors for Health Care Applications

Raju Khan is currently working as Principal Scientist & Associate Professor at Microfluidics & MEMS Centre, CSIR-Advanced Materials and Processes Research Institute (AMPRI), Bhopal, India. His current research is on electrochemical point-of-care diagnostics, nanostructure materials based electrochemical biosensor devices integrated with microfluidics for clinical applications, food analysis and antimicrobial applications. Dr Khan is also working on SARS-CoV-2 diagnostics project funded by DST-SERB. He has completed several National & International collaborative projects, Indo-Czech Republic & Indo-Russia etc. He awarded the reputed BOYSCAST fellowship from DST Govt of India and worked as a visiting scientist for one year at UTSA, USA. Since then, Dr. Khan is continuously very productive along with more than 15 years R&D and teaching experiences with producing high quality research, mentoring students, and supporting analytical & microfluidics division as outsource facility. His research is highly interdisciplinary and overlaps with Material Science, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Biotechnology and Analytical Chemistry.

Prof. Abdullah M. Asiri is the Head of the Chemistry Department at King Abdulaziz University since October 2009 and he is the founder and the Director of the Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials Research (CEAMR) since 2010 till date. He is the Professor of Organic Photochemistry. His research interest covers color chemistry, synthesis of novel photochromic and thermochromic systems, synthesis of novel coloring matters and dyeing of textiles, materials chemistry, nanochemistry and nanotechnology, polymers and plastics. A major achievement of Prof. Asiri is the discovery of tribochromic compounds, a class of compounds which change from slightly or colorless to deep colored when subjected to small pressure or when grind. This discovery was introduced to the scientific community as a new terminology published by IUPAC in 2000. This discovery was awarded a patent from European Patent office and from UK patent. He is also a member of the Editorial Board of various journals of international repute. He is the Vice- President of Saudi Chemical Society (Western Province Branch). He holds four USA patents, more than 800 Publications in international journals, seven book chapters, and ten books
