Siva Sankar Sana is currently working as a Post Doctoral Fellow at School of Chemical Engineering and Technology, North University of China. He received Ph.D. in 2016, in the Department of Materials Science & Nanotechnology, Yogi Vemana University, A.P, India. He completed a Masters in Chemistry (Medicinal Chemistry) from Sri Venkateswara University, India in 2008 and completed a Bachelor of Science from Sri Venkateswara University India in 2006. He is currently engaged in the development of metal and polymer based nanoparticles for drug delivery/biomedical applications, and bio-synthesis of metal nanoparticles are being carried out by using different plant extracts, whereas polymer-based nanoparticles are being developed by using modified precipitation methods. Different anti-cancer drugs are loaded into polymer nanocarriers, and their release characteristics are being measured. We are trying to develop a versatile method by which one can control many parameters. He has published 16 articles and 2 Indian patents filed and 3 book chapters.
