About the Author

Dr. Ranbir Chander (RC) Sobti is Emeritus Professor at Punjab University, Chandigarh, and Honorary Scientist at the Indian National Science Academy. He started his career as a cytogeneticist and progressed to molecular biology and disease processes of cancer, COPD, AIDS, metabolic syndrome, and kidney diseases. He is a Fellow of the Third World Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Sciences India, Indian National Science Academy, National Academy of Medical Sciences, National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Canadian Academy of Cardiovascular Diseases Royal Society of biology and international Association of Cancer Research. Dr. Sobti has participated in several book projects, including Elsevier’s Advances in Animal Experimentation and Modeling; Biomarkers in Cancer Detection and Monitoring of Therapeutics; Molecular Medicine and Biomedical Research in the Era of Precision Medicine; One Planet, One Health, One Future; Probiotics; and Public and Environmental Health.
Dr Wilson’s career has spanned a number of decades and disciplines, from life as a junior chemist to academician at the University of Wales at Aberystwyth and Cardiff where he worked on diet and endocrinology. His early research emphasis was on cancer intervention using epidemiological evidence and related natural and synthetic products which has blossomed into works on phyto-oestrogens and flavonoids many of which form part of his several hundred publications. Chronomedicine also formed a major part of his work on breast cancer detection using thermorhythmometric procedures. He has 400-500 publications in biological sciences. In recognition of his contributions to science he has held senior positions in international and national organizations, memberships of many journal boards and is reviewer for many nutritional, statistical and cancer-related journals. He has been an invited global speaker at international events in USA, Asia and Europe and previously Australia and New Zealand.
Dr. Buttar has made valuable contributions to nanobiotechnology, phytomedicines, functional foods, clinical nutrition and prevention of cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and diabetes. In January 2014, the International Academy of Cardiovascular Sciences (India Section) established the "Dr. Harpal S. Buttar Oration Award" to recognize his leadership and contributions in promoting dietary and lifestyle changes in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases in Canada and around the world. Based on his scientific accomplishments and distinguished contributions he was awarded Fellowships from the Punjab Academy of Sciences, International College of Nutrition, International Academy of Cardiovascular Sciences, and Indian Society of Pharmaceutical Education and Research. In 2019 the Society for Ethnopharmacology, India, gave the Special Recognition Award to Dr. Buttar for his outstanding contributions made in Phytomedicines and promotion of research in Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical Sciences.He has authored / co-authored 56 book chapters, one monograph, and 158 research and review papers published in peer-reviewed journals.
Dr. Télessy is a retired associate professor at the University of Pécs (2008) and University of Szeged (2002). He is a specialist in pharmacology and clinical and hospital pharmacy. His main research activity has been in the fields of clinical nutrition and clinical pharmacy. He has published more than 90 papers, written two books (single author) and contributed 6 book chapters.Dr. Télessy worked as pharmacist in public pharmacy for 20 years), in the pharmaceutical industry for 18 years and health authority for 5 years. He is fellow of numerous societies and led the Public Pharmacy Advisory Board of the Minister of Healthcare for 13 years. He was Vice President of the Hungarian Society of Pharmaceutical Sciences and also played a role as lecturer in ESPEN International Expert Courses in Clinical Nutrition for Pharmacy.
Aastha Sobti is a Doctoral student at the Department of Immunotechnology at Lund University, Sweden. Her research areas interests include translational medicine, clinical dentistry, cancer immunology, biomarkers, diagnostics and medical oncology. Aastha Sobti has written two books with Elsevier: "Biomarkers in Cancer Detection and Monitoring of Therapeutics" (2023) and Molecular Medicine and Biomedical Research in the Era of Precision Medicine (2025).
