Synopsis

While basic science research explores into unraveling biological processes, pathways, and mechanisms to identify targets and understand disease progression, engineering focuses on developing techniques, equipment, and procedures to improve patient outcomes. Advancing Science and Innovation in Healthcare Research: Health Horizons not only contributes to the comprehension of human health and disease attenuation but also sheds light on mechanisms and introduces new techniques to combine these two areas and bridge knowledge gaps. Comprising 29 chapters, this book introduces readers to the application of modern technologies such as bioinformatics, bioengineering, and artificial intelligence for advancing human health. It explores the systems biology approach, utilizing (multi)omics techniques and metagenomic profiling. Researchers in systems biology, bioinformatics, and biomedical applications will find this an essential reference.

• Deciphers the importance of ground-breaking basic science research and innovative techniques used to ameliorate diseases and improve health
• Enhances understanding of human health and reduces the impact of diseases by revealing the underlying mechanisms and introducing innovative techniques, addressing knowledge gaps
• Deals with modern technologies that can be applied for diagnosis and therapeutics of different diseases of different diseases

About the Authors

Dr. Debasmita Bhattacharya obtained her Masters and Doctoral degree in Cellular, Molecular and Integrative Physiology, Faculty of Health from York University. She did her Post-Doctoral fellowship in Dr. David Hood’s lab at York University. At present, her research focusses on the functional outcome of mitochondrial transplantation in stem and progenitor cells. She is also investigating the implications of lysosomal malfunction in cellular model and finding strategies to mitigate it in order to improve health. She has proven expertise in stem cell biology, cellular physiology, cancer biology, mitochondrial biology and exercise physiology. One of her studies entitled “p107 mediated mitochondrial function controls muscle stem cell proliferative fates” has been published in Nature Communications and has been appreciated by eminent scholars in the field. Bhattacharya has disseminated her research through peer reviewed journal articles, as well as poster and oral presentations at top tier academic conferences. She worked as Professor at Humber College, Canada in Biotechnology and Biomedical Sciences Department. Currently she is the Professor in the Department of Basic Science and Humanities, Institute of Engineering and Management, University of Engineering and Management, Kolkata
