Dr. Venkata Sundeep Seesala

Post Doc

Biography

I am a dentist and a material scientist with Masters in Nanotechnology and PhD in Medical Science and Technology (Custom dental prosthetics by ceramic dough shaping: Improved strength and aging resistance). Skilled in the fabrication of complex ceramic and metal components including dental and orthopedic implants using simple, cost-effective techniques.

My research is focused on near-net shaping technologies and additive manufacturing for the designing and development of prosthetics. We have explored a wide variety of materials from ceramics to metals and developed novel processes to fabricate dense-porous bilayer components and functional gradient
structures.

Always enthusiastic to learn new technologies and their alternative applications through out-of-the-box thinking. A detail-oriented person who would thrive in challenging situations.

Hema Bora

Postdoctoral Fellow

Biography

Hema Bora received her doctoral degree from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India, in 2012. In 2013, she joined the University of Bonn, Germany as a postdoctoral fellow focusing on the immunological and molecular characterization of parasite proteins involved in the pathogenesis of malaria. She worked at the University of Tokyo, Japan (2017-18) as a researcher on quantifying the exhaled bacteria while breathing and reading in healthy individuals.

Mitali Mishra

Research Scholar

Biography

Being trained as Medicinal Plant Biotechnologist in academics as well as research institutions, I perceived knowledge of pharmaceutical aspects of ayurvedic medicinal plants. I believe the knowledge gained from Ayurvedic texts and evidence-based studies should be extended to modern medicine. In doctoral research, I am trying to explore the immunomodulatory and osteogenic potential of Ayurvedic formulations from tissue engineering perspectives. This would help in utilizing the age-old wisdom of Ayurveda for the development of newer drugs in modern medicine.
