Dr. Manish Biyani,
Founder
Dr. Biyani received his double graduation degrees in Science (1993) and Pharmacy (1997) from University of Rajasthan in India, Master of Engineering (2001) and PhD in Biological Sciences (2004) from Saitama University in Japan. He was an invited Research Scientist by JST (Japan Science and Technology) to work for two major national projects of JST for 10 years from 2004 to 2013, where he used nanobio-device tools to develop high-speed molecular evolution reactor for screening novel and highly-functional bio-molecules. Dr. Biyani was also appointed as staff (Asst Prof) in the Department of Bioengineering at The University of Tokyo from 2009-2013. In 2014, he was invited as Research Associate Professor to join another big project (Hokuriku Life Science Cluster) for Healthcare in Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.
Dr. Biyani has a dual responsibility in India and Japan. In India, he is the founding director of Biyani Group of Colleges in Jaipur. In Japan, he is a faculty member at Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. Since 2004, he is involved to promote scientific interaction and research networks between India and Japan.
Dr. Biyani has pursued a career in basic research in biotechnology and its extended application in various fields including medicine and healthcare. His major areas of research interest include Molecular Evolutionary Engineering, Low-cost Molecular Diagnostics, Bio-drug Discovery, DNA-based nano Architecture, Functional Proteomics and Biosensors.
