Transcription and Translation in Health and Disease Summary

Transcription and Translation in Health and Disease by Manoj Garg (Associate Professor, Amity Institute of Molecular Medicine and Stem Cell Research (AIMMSCR), Amity University, Noida, India)

Transcription and Translation in Health and Disease provides a detailed overview of the regulators underlying transcription and translation in relation to a variety of human diseases and disorders. Beginning with an introduction into the current perspectives relating to these processes in human disease, the book expands to focus on specific mechanisms underlying conditions such as arthritis, cancer, neurological disorders, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This book considers RNA processing and related mechanisms in eukaryotes including RNA splicing, RNA binding proteins, RNA interference, microRNAs, RNA editing, transcription factors, RNAi screening, CRISPR activation, CRISPR-Cas9 interference, and post-translational modifications. It provides a structured and detailed overview of the various regulators underlying molecular processes and their impact on health and disease, equipping readers with the necessary knowledge for further investigation in the areas of treatment and therapeutic intervention.

About Manoj Garg (Associate Professor, Amity Institute of Molecular Medicine and Stem Cell Research (AIMMSCR), Amity University, Noida, India)

Dr. Manoj Garg completed his PhD at the National Institute of Immunology (NII), New Delhi and University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, India. He joined as a Research Scientist at the Cancer Science Institute (CSI), National University of Singapore, Singapore in 2010 and extensively worked on cutting-edge technologies including next-generation sequencing of both DNA and RNA, shRNA library screening, drug screening in different subtypes of Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), Acute Lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma, anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, and liposarcoma. In 2016, Dr. Garg was awarded Ramalingaswami Fellowship and returned to India and joined as an Assistant Professor at Cancer Institute, Chennai. He received the Early Career Research Award from Science Engineering and Research Board (SERB), GOI in 2017. Dr. Garg has published his research in a range of well-reputed scientific journals and serves as an editor for various international journal. Dr. Gautam Sethi is a tenured Associate Professor in Department of Pharmacology, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore. The focus of his research over the past few years has been to elucidate the mechanism (s) of activation of oncogenic transcription factors by carcinogens and inflammatory agents and the identification of novel inhibitors of these proteins for prevention of and therapy for cancer. The findings of his research work have so far resulted in more than three hundred and fifty scientific publications in high impact factor peer reviewed journals (with h index = 109) and several international awards. He also serves as an editorial board member for over more than 15 international journals Dr. Amit Kumar Pandey completed his postdoctoral training at the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore, National University of Singapore, Singapore where he worked on exploring the role of miRNAs in epigenetic regulation of metastatic breast cancer, and Max Delbruck Center for Molecular Medicine, Berlin, Germany where he worked on exploring the role of non-coding RNAs in metabolism. Dr. Pandey has been working in the field of non-coding RNAs for the last 12 years. He has worked extensively in molecular and cell biology, cell signaling, next generation sequencing. For the last 3 years Dr. Pandey has been working as Assistant professor and running 4 research grants from various govt. agencies as principal investigator. Dr. Pandey currently serves as editor of PLOS One and review editor of Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences.
