About this book
This book describes various novel biomarkers for the early diagnosis of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. It also highlights recent advances in understanding the role of molecular markers and biomarkers, such as volatile biomarkers, serum biomarkers, predictive and prognostic molecular markers for the early detection of GI cancers. Further, it discusses novel biomarkers, including circulating microRNAs, serum microRNA and plasma microRNA in GI cancer.
The book presents breakthrough technologies like ultra-sensitive nano-chips, nanosensors, nanodevices, biosensors, electrochemical biosensors, optical biosensors, DNA biosensors, synthetic biology devices, and 'omics' technologies for the early diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer. In addition it examines the potential of genome-wide association studies, big data analytics, computation biology, systems biology, and nanotechnology for early diagnostics and therapeutics for gastrointestinal cancer, with a focus on personalized cancertreatment. The book is a valuable source for researchers and clinicians engaged in detection and diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancers.Editors and Affiliations

About the editors
Dr. Neelapu Nageswara Rao Reddy is currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biochemistry and Bioinformatics, Institute of Science, Gandhi Institute of Technology and Management (GITAM) (deemed university), India. He obtained his Master’s in Life Science from Pondicherry Central University, and Ph.D. in Evolutionary Bioinformatics from Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, India. His research interests include bioinformatics, cancer, and fungal biology with specialization in drug target discovery, HLA-based peptide vaccine design, genome analysis, phylogenyand evolution. Furthermore, he has expanded his research fields to understanding biochemical mechanisms of stress-induced proteins, structure-function relationship of proteins, and exploring next generation sequencing data to understand traits. He has been a recipient of several fellowships, like CSIR-UGC Junior Research Fellowship; and DAAD Visiting Fellowship, Germany. He has published more than 50 research articles in prestigious peer-reviewed international journals and presented 18 abstracts at various national and international conferences. He has served on the editorial board for a number of national and international journals, and is a member of several international scientific societies and organizations, most importantly, Indian Science Congress & Society of Biological Chemists, India.
