Paper Title
VERY EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER WITH EXOSOMES
Abstract
An expert in the areas of Nanosynthesis, Micro-Nano-Bio Integration Center, Optical Bio Microsystems, In-Situ and Ex-situ Nano Integration of Lab On Chip and microsensors, he develops and studies nano integrated microsystems for various applications. Packirisamyis a Professor and Concordia Research Chair on Optical BioMEMS in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. As Director of Micro-Nano-Bio Integration Center and Optical Bio Microsystems Lab, he developed this lab focusing on Lab on Chip, Bio-Microsystems and micro-nano integration. He is the recipient of Member Royal Society of Canada College, Fellow of American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Fellow of Institution of Engineers India, Fellow of Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering and I.W.Smith award from Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering, Concordia University Research Fellow, Petro Canada Young Innovator Award and ENCS Young Research Achievement Award. As an author of more than 400 articles published in journals and conference proceedings, Professor Packirisamy has 15 inventions in the area of micro and nanosystems. He has supervised more than 9 Research Associates, 16 PhDs and 50 Master students. He was successful in obtaining grants worth of more than $11 Million. He has also recently published a textbook, BioMEMS: Engineering and Science Perspectives (CRC Press, 2011), and 3 book chapters, to provide a comprehensive background in the area of bio-microsystems. His Recent invention on energy harvesting from photosynthesis of blue green algae had more than 3000 citations around the world and was covered by most of the countries and media throughout the world including Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), NDTV, Montreal Gazette, National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Royal Society of Canada,International Business Times, Thomson Reuters, and many more.
