Dr. Anuj K. Chandel is a Professor in the Department of Biotechnology, Engineering School of Lorena, University of São Paulo, Brazil. He has over 23 years of research experience working on process optimization and large-scale production of industrial enzymes and vaccine particles, biofuels, and membrane-based separation of fats, proteins, and viruses. He previously worked at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa, and the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, USA. He has also worked Dalas Biotech Ltd, Bhiwadi, Rajasthan; Celestial Biolabs Ltd, Hyderabad, and Centro de Tecnologia Canaviera-Piracicaba, Brazil, on large-scale production of industrial enzymes and cellulosic ethanol, for about 7 years. Dr. Chandel has published 125 articles in peer-reviewed journals and 56 book chapters, has edited 15 books, and holds one Brazilian patent. His primary research interests is to develop sustainable processes for bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass into renewable fuels and biochemicals by bridging the gap between research laboratories and industries. Fernando Segato is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biotechnology at the Engineering School of Lorena at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. He received his Ph.D. in Molecular Biology and Genetics of Microorganisms from the Ribeirão Preto School of Medicine at the University of São Paulo. Dr. Segato has worked as a post-doc at Oklahoma State University on developing designer of expression systems for hyper-protein production. He has also worked as a researcher for the Technical Research Center of Finland--VTT, in molecular biology area and was a visiting professor at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. His research focuses on prospection of hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes applied in lignocellulose depolymerization, exploration of thermophilic fungal genomes, and improvement of fungal cell factories to produce proteins of biotechnological interest. Dr. Segato has published 48 peer-reviewed papers in highly reputed journals and 4 book chapters. He has presented his work in more than 52 national and international conferences, and he has participated in competitions related to synthetic biology around the world.
