I am proud to have served as a Research Associate and Content Developer on this crucial book project. My work involved synthesizing key scientific literature and developing the core messaging that challenges current standards in prenatal care.

This book represents a vital shift in thinking: it rigorously details why we must move beyond the traditional focus on single-nutrient fixes like Iron-Folic Acid. We advocate for a broader, more effective strategy—the essential incorporation of multi-micronutrients—to ensure superior outcomes, leading to better maternal and fetal health. It's a comprehensive resource aimed at spreading awareness and setting a new gold standard in pregnancy nutrition.

A protocol has been established for genetic transformation of the chloroplasts in two new cultivars of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) grown in India and Australia: Pusa Ruby and Yellow Currant. Tomato cv. Green Pineapple was also used as a control that has previously been used for establishing chloroplast transformation by other researchers. Selected tomato cultivars were finalized from ten other tested cultivars (Green Pineapple excluded) due to their high regeneration potential and better re...

Chikungunya fever (CHIK) is a febrile illness characterized by acute fever with headache and severe debilitating muscle and joint pain [1, 2]. India had been under the grip of chikungunya since 2005 [3]. Historically, the virus has shown a pattern of affecting immune-naive populations once every 30 years. The first outbreak of the virus occurred in 1963 in Calcutta (now Kolkata) [4], followed by epidemics in other parts of the country [5, 6]. The last outbreak was recorded in Maharashtra in 1973...

The carotenoid pathway in plants has been altered through metabolic engineering to enhance their nutritional value and generate keto-carotenoids, which are widely sought after in the food, feed, and human health industries. In this study, the aim was to produce keto-carotenoids by manipulating the native carotenoid pathway in tobacco plants through chloroplast engineering. Transplastomic tobacco plants were generated that express a synthetic multigene operon composed of three heterologous genes,...
