Dr. Ramesh Namdeo Pudake is Assistant Professor at Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Noida - one of the top-ranked private universities in India. Dr. Pudake is a PhD in Crop Genetics and Breeding from China Agricultural University, Beijing, PRC. After his PhD, he is engaged in research in a range of organisms but with a focus on crop plant genomics. He has also worked in the Department of Agronomy at Iowa State University Ames, IA, USA, on host-pathogen interaction and gene mapping. Currently, he is focusing on research on different application genomics in plant-microbe interaction. Dr. Pudake has published more than 37 research publications, 4 books, and 19 book chapters. He also has one scholarship award from the Chinese Government for pursuing his doctoral studies. He is an expert reviewer and guest editor for several journals of repute. 

2. Dr. Maya Kumari is working as Scientist-E in the Directorate of Life sciences, Defence Research and Development Organization, Govt.of India; and has more than 12 years of research experience in the field of plant molecular biology. Her research work in functional and molecular breeding for the detection of the molecular mechanism of plant biotic stress tolerance is of high scientific and social relevance. Currently, she is coordinating various projects related to biological defense technologies and acting as an interface between the army, industry, and DRDO Labs. She has published more than 40 research papers and 1 book and acted as a reviewer for scientific articles in reputed journals. Besides her published work, Dr. Maya persuaded to achieve many awards including the master's Gold Medal; Endeavour Research Scholarship, DEST, Australia, to carry out research at CLIMA, UWA, Australia; Young Women Scientist Scholarship, Department of Science and Technology, Junior/Senior Research Fellow of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Govt. of India; and Chinese Government Scholarship, China Scholarship
