Kanti Bhooshan Pandey AcSIR; CSIR-Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute, Bhavnagar, India. Dr. Kanti Bhooshan Pandey is a Senior Scientist and Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Biological Sciences, AcSIR; CSIR-Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute, Gujarat, India. He is doctorate in Biochemistry. His research expertise includes clinical biochemistry, food biochemistry, molecular cell biology, and Gerontology. He has done significant work on investigation of molecular mechanisms of action of plant-derived polyphenols, a major constituent in food and vital in nutrition point of view. He is working to investigate human aging impairments at molecular level including cellular signaling. He has designed a new protocol in cell biology and investigated a novel mechanism of action of bioactive compounds involved in cellular homeostasis and ascorbate recycling. His findings have found commercial applications. Dr. Pandey is the recipient of many national and international fellowships and has been authored more than 57 research papers and book chapters. He is in the editorial/advisory board of many reputed international journals. Maitree Suttajit Maitree Suttajit, Phayao Province Thailand. Dr. Maitree Suttajit is Professor Emeritus previously at School of Medicine, Chiangmai University and later at School of Medical Sciences, University of Phayao, Thailand. He was Dean of this School between 2010-2015 and currently acts as a Research Advisor. He got his Ph.D from SUNY/Buffalo, USA in 1971. His active research has been on functional foods, and phytochemicals such as pigmented rice, perilla (Nga-mon), omega fatty acids, flavonoids, anthocyanidins, rosmarinic acid as well as antioxidants and anti-inflammation and antiaging activities. He has published more than 100 research papers and many book chapters with reputed international publishers. He was the Chairman organizing the first international conference on Innovation of Functional Foods in Asia (IFFA2018), Phayao, Thailand which was reported as "The innovation of functional foods in Asia: IFFA 2018", Asia Pacific J. Clin. Nutri. Sept.2019, 28(2):419-426. Dr. Maitree is in the editorial/review /coordinating/committee of many international journals.
