Dr. Kabir H. Biswas, Assistant Professor at Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU)’s College of Health and Life Sciences (CHLS), has been invited to join the editorial board of the “Frontiers in Physics, in Molecular Biosciences, and in Physiology” journals as a review editor in the specialized ‘Biophysics’ section. Frontiers is a leading Open Access publisher and Open Science platform. Its journals are led and peer-reviewed by editorial boards of over 100,000 top researchers, with research articles receiving over 1 billion views and downloads and 1.6 million citations. Dr. Biswas will join established researchers and academics representing some of the most prestigious universities and institutes in the world who are shaping the direction of research through their editorial roles. His work in the biological sciences discipline has appeared in several high impact journals, both general as well as specialized, and been recognized for scientific contributions. In his specialized laboratory at CHLS, Dr. Biswas leads an interdisciplinary group engaged in developing biosensors and biointerfaces for monitoring and manipulating biomolecular and cellular function for understanding mechanisms of cellular adhesion and signaling, with a focus on physical and mechanical aspects relevant to health and disease. The group employs a variety of approaches including protein engineering, microfabrication, optical imaging, cell and molecular biology, and bioinformatics to dissect mechanisms of cellular signaling with the aim of providing pathways for precision diagnostics and medicine.
