Challa Kumar is currently the Group Leader of Nanofabrication at the Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD), Baton Rouge, USA. His research interests are in developing novel synthetic methods for functional nanomaterials and innovative therapeutic, diagnostic and sensory tools based on nanotechnology. He has eight years of industrial R&D experience working for Imperial Chemical Industries and United Breweries prior to joining CAMD. He is the founding Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Biomedical Nanotechnology, an international peer reviewed journal published by American Scientific Publishers, and the series editor for the ten-volume book series Nanotechnologies for the Life Sciences (NtLS) published by Wiley-VCH. He worked at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Munich, Germany, as a post doctoral fellow and at the Max Planck Institute for Carbon Research in Mülheim, Germany, as an invited scientist. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in synthetic organic chemistry from Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, Prashanti Nilayam, India.

"The present book ... presents an excellent collection of chapters outlining new developments in the area from the point of view of materials science. ... The editor succeeded in amalgamating the contributions of different authors in a coherent book that has actually become an 'encyclopedia' of biofunctionalized nanomaterials. This book is the first volume in a comprehensive ten volume series on 'Nanotechnologies for the Life Sciences', which is going to be an encyclopedic database for bionanotechnology and bionanomedicine. ... an excellent collection of the material under a single cover that is certainly convenient for the reader. ... Overall, the editor and authors have done a good job, resulting in a book that can be read with interest by the broad scientific community. This book deserves a respected place on the desk of a student, professor, or engineer, who will equally benefit from reading its content." small "...it is to be hoped that the editor, authors, and publisher will succeed in attracting many interested readers to the series Nanotechnologies for the Life Sciences, as an up-to-date collection of articles on this theme..."
