IPR, Biosafety and Bioethics

Acknowledgements

During the course of writing this book, I was fortunate enough to get help and guidance from a large number of people. It is my pleasure to acknowledge them though it is still an inadequate gesture in appreciation of their contributions.

At the outset, I express my profound gratitude to my late grandfather, Shri. Ram Sahay Ji, and my late uncle, Shri. Ramniwas Gupta Ji, who inspired me constantly to devote time and effort in active pursuit of scientific rigour and academic excellence.

I am obliged to my friend and colleague, Mamoon Rashid, for his suggestions and my friend and co-author, Shomini Parashar, who was always available with her elegant ideas during our brainstorming sessions relating to this book.

Thanks are due to ...
