Biotechnological Advances for Microbiology, Molecular Biology, and Nanotechnology

Jyoti Ranjan Rout, PhD, is Assistant Professor in the School of Biological Sciences, AIPH University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. Before joining the AIPH, he worked as Assistant Professor and Head of the Post Graduate Department of Biotechnology at the Academy of Management and Information Technology (AMIT), Bhubaneswar, India. Dr. Rout has more than 10 years of experience in both teaching and research in the field of biochemistry and molecular biology. He is the recipient of a NESA-scientist of the year award and the Professor B.K. Nanda memorial award from the National Environmental Science Academy, India, and Orissa Botanical Society, India, respectively. Dr. Rout has published over 45 research articles in various national and international peer-reviewed journals and has contributed several book chapters in different edited book volumes with international publishers, including Springer and CRC Press. He is actively involved as an editorial board member and reviewer of many international journals. His area of research includes biochemical and molecular aspects of toxicology, protein and elemental profiling, gene expression of antioxidant enzymes, phytochemical screening and in vitro tissue and organ culture of medicinal plants. His recent area of interest is to understand the metal causing toxicity in cellular, biochemical, molecular level in plants which act as a potential bio-indicator of metal pollution to agriculture and public health. He earned his master¿s degree in Biotechnology from North Orissa University and his PhD (Biotechnology) from Utkal University in the area of stress biochemistry, molecular biology, and nutritional stress tolerance in plants.
