  • Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology
    SHANTI SWARUP BHATNAGAR PRIZE FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 2005 Biological Sciences Dr Tapas Kumar Kundu The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for the year 2005 in Biological Sciences has been awarded to Dr Tapas Kumar Kundu of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore. Dr Kundu has done outstanding research in the area of chromatin transcription. He has identified PC4 as a functional component of chromatin and as a unique activator of P53. He has also established the role of acetylation in chromatin transcription and histone chaperone activity, besides using this process for identifying new drug candidates. & Dr Shekhar Chintamani Mande The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for the year 2005 in Biological Sciences has been awarded to Dr Shekhar Chintamani Mande of the Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics, Hyderabad. Dr Mande has contributed very richly to the area of structural biology of proteins. His studies have thrown light on the unrecognized function of chaperonin-10 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis . His studies have provided unusual insights to the mechanism of action of heat shock proteins and those involved in oxidative stress from M. tuberculosis. Chemical Sciences Dr Samaresh Bhattacharya The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for the year 2005 in Chemical Sciences has been awarded to Dr Samaresh Bhattacharya of the Jadavpur University, Kolkata. Dr Bhattacharya has made outstanding contributions to the platinum group coordination compounds and their applications to activation of organic molecules. & Dr S Ramakrishnan The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for the year 2005 in Chemical Sciences has been awarded to Dr S. Ramakrishnan of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

As a consequence, in the past fifty years, there has been a paradigm shift in our interpreting the life process. In the process, modern biology had acquired a truly interdisciplinary character in which all streams of sciences have made monumental contributions. Because of such rapid emergence as a premier subject of teaching and research; a necessity to restructure classical teachings in biology was recognised by the academics worldwide. In tune with such trends, the academic leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru University conceptualised the School of Life Sciences as an interdisciplinary research/teaching programme unifying various facets of biology while reflecting essential commonality regarding structure, function and evolution of biomolecules. The School was established in 1973 and since offering integrated teaching and research at M. Sc/ Ph.D level in various sub-disciplines in life sciences. Since inception, it remained dedicated to its core objectives and evolved to be one of the top such institutions in India and perhaps in South East Asia.

It was registered under the Societies Act in the then princely state of Mysore and the memorandum of registration was signed by the late Profs. V. Subramanian, V. N. Patwardhan and C. V. Natarajan, who were leading personalities in the scientific firmament during that period. The Society played a crucial role during the Second World War by advising the Government on the utilization of indigenous biomaterials as food substitutes, drugs and tonics, on the industrial and agricultural waste utilization and on management of water resources. The other areas of vital interest to the Society in the early years were nutrition, proteins, enzymes, applied microbiology, preventive medicines and the development of high quality proteins from indigenous plant sources.
