Biography
Dr. Kaiser Jamil, PhD. Is Emeritus Scientist, Principle Investigator and the Head of Genetics Department at BMMRC, also Dean, School of Life Sciences, at Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Advanced Studies (JNIAS), having published more than 290 papers in journals of repute and guided 32 research scholars for PhD degree. During the last decade following her instincts, she has taken up several projects related to human health, for ‘War against Cancer’. She has contributed in the field of Biomarkers in Breast cancer, Lung cancer, Leukaemia, and Head and Neck cancer. Her work on SNPs of drug metabolizing genes in cancers has been published in peer reviewed journals, unfolding the mechanisms of several genes and other genes which network with these genes, elucidated Drug-Gene interactions. She has also contributed on the role of some signalling pathways such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and MAPK in haematological malignancies and HNC. Her research continues to unravel genotypes leading towards personalised medicine. Presently she is investigating the role of microRNAs is cancer diagnosis and gene-silencing technologies.

Biography
Dr. Boothman grew up in Detroit, Michigan, and earned his B.S. at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. He did his graduate work in microbiology and immunology at the University of Miami Medical School, where he received his Ph.D. under the mentorship of Dr. Sheldon Greer. His research focused on the biochemistry and pharmacology of anticancer drugs, specifically 5-fluoro-deoxycytidine derivatives. He did postdoctoral research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute of Harvard Medical School with Dr. Arthur B. Pardee. There, he investigated changes in several aspects of cancer cells before and after cell stress: cell cycle checkpoint regulation, molecular biology, and gene expression. His studies on β-lapachone as a radiosensitizer and DNA repair inhibitor began at this time. Dr. Boothman also discovered and cloned the first proteins and transcripts induced by ionizing radiation (IR). Dr. Boothman has trained 16 Ph.D. students, two M.D./Ph.D. students, and more than 40 postdoctoral fellows and residents, who enjoy positions around the nation and in seven different countries and in various aspects of scientific research.
