Mr. Shivam Kumar is pursuing his Ph.D. at biosensors and devices lab, he have completed his M.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, currently working on wearable biosensors for monitoring heart diseases .

Nature's Intricate systems hold a mirror to our own complexities, forming an unspoken dialogue between the external world and the human body. As a biotechnology graduate with  BSc and MSc from Jamia Millia Islamia (Cental University), and now pursuing a PhD, I find myself captivated by how nature seves as blueprint for understanding health. Our bodies, much like nature itself, possess an inherent wisdom -signaling through biofluids and biomarkers about the unseen stories of our well-being. this connection fuels my curiosity to decode these natural messages and translate them into meaningful insights.

Dr. Piyush Mishra is currently engaged as Project Research Scientist-1 at Biosensors and Devices Lab, Centre of Biomedical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. Formerly he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Hyderabad, India. He received his Ph.D. in Physical Sciences from the Biomedical Metrology Division at CSIR-National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi, India. His research spans the intersection of electromagnetic theory and biomedical sciences, focusing on the design, simulation, and optimization of biosensors, microfluidic platforms for biosensing, flexible electronics, and point-of-care diagnostic technologies. Dr. Mishra is an active member of the Indian Science Congress Association (ISCA) and the Metrology Society of India, contributing to advancements in precision measurement and healthcare innovations.

Dr. Farha Naaz is currently working as a Project Research Scientist on a multidisciplinary project focused on the development of point-of-care diagnostic technologies. Her research focuses on nanostructured materials for catalysis and biomedical applications. She earned her Ph.D. in Chemistry from Jamia Millia Islamia and has several high-impact publications and patents to her credit.

Ms. Aarti is pursuing her Ph.D. at the Centre for Biomedical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. She has completed her M.Sc. in Medical Biotechnology (Gold Medalist) and B.Sc. in Botany, Chemistry, and Zoology from Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak, and is currently working on wearable patches for chronic wound management. She has been awarded the prestigious CSIR Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) with an All India Rank of 98.

Priyanshi Gupta is a Ph.D. scholar at the Department of Centre for Biomedical Engineering (CBME). She holds a Master’s degree from Amity University, Noida, and has gained valuable research experience at CSIR–National Physical Laboratory (NPL). Her research interests lie in the field of biosensors, with a focus on advancing innovative diagnostic technologies.

Kushagra Jain is currently working as a Technical Assistant at ICMR-NICHDR in the Molecular Biology Lab, where he handles clinical samples from patients suspected of Leishmaniasis and conducts molecular studies related to Leishmania. Previously, during his M.Tech project, Kushagra focused on the development of an electrochemical biosensor for the detection of CA-19.9, a biomarker for pancreatic cancer. He evaluated the sensor's performance in terms of sensitivity, specificity, dynamic range, and limit-of-detection (LOD) using an electrochemical workstation. The biosensor was designed as a potential point-of-care diagnostic tool for the early detection of pancreatic cancer.

Dr. Zeenat Khatoon is a researcher specializing in wearable sensors and electrochemical biosensing platforms. Her Ph.D. focused on identifying lung cancer using VOC biomarkers in exhaled breath through advanced electrochemical sensors. She has extensive expertise in material characterization techniques such as FESEM, XRD, FTIR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy, as well as electrochemical methods like cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy.
