The level of activity in these areas can be judged by the fact that there have been some hundred thousand papers on high temperature superconductivity alone. Ramakrishnan highlighted some of the work done in India in these areas, including that by his associates and himself, and gave a masterful survey of a technically demanding subject. The symposium on Traditional Medicine was coordinated by EDITOR MS Valiathan. In his historical overview Valiathan recalled the evolution of the Ayurvedic system over several millennia. Textual N. Mukunda references from the time of the Buddha, the works of Charaka, Published by Sushruta and Agnivesha, the later Samhitas, the surgical Indian Academy of Sciences procedures pioneered by Sushruta and the heights reached at Bangalore 560 080, India Takshashila and Varanasi were all eloquently described.

The second symposium on Genetics and Health was put together Forthcoming Events– by N Appaji Rao. In his own presentation on ‘Consanguinity, endogamy and community genetics’ he pointed out that, contrary 2005 to naïve expectation, fertility, fecundity and post-natal fatality were not much affected by the social practice of marriages among 16th Mid Year Meeting, Bangalore (7–9 July 2005) close relatives. Other speakers covered ‘Genomics, immunology and infectious diseases’ (RM Pitchappan), gene mutations in 71st Annual Meeting, Bharathidasan corneal dystrophies (Chitra Kannabiran), and the case of viral University, Tiruchirappalli proteins which equip themselves to perform multiple tasks in (11–13 November 2005) the infected cell (Shahid Jammel).

The speaker CCMB, Hyderabad recalled the economic scene in (25 May–8 June 2005) the industrial and colonial Earth system science periods, and the revolutionary Bangalore (25 June–6 July 2005) changes that have taken place M S Ahluwalia in more recent times in international trade and manufacturing Chemistry Bangalore (8–12 August 2005) practices. He pointed out that the quality and quantity of Indian scientific research is not quite as encouraging as it should be, Theoretical physics and is restricted to a rather small number of institutions. During SB College, Changanassery discussion he invited the Academy to send specific proposals (19–30 September 2005) to the Planning Commission on Probability, stochastic processes the topic of science education, and applications, Cochin for its consideration as part of (26 September–7 October 2005) its mid-term Tenth Five Year Applied stochastic processes Plan review.

The special lecture by 2005 ELECTIONS SC Lakhotia was on ‘Non-coding DNA: junk Fellows: or a necessity for origin Ali, Sher and evolution of National Institute of Immunology, New Delhi biological complexity?’ Areas of interest: Molecular genetics of The question was human and animals, gene expression and viewed against the genome organization, and genomics of background of the endangered species central dogma of molecular biology which Arora, Baldev Raj S C Lakhotia implies that ‘any Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, sequence of DNA ... is of relevance only if it has a Dehra Dun Electromagnetic geophysics, seismotectonics, protein-coding function’. Lakhotia reminded the audience and geomagnetism that unlike in bacteria where non-coding DNA is almost non-existent, in mammals it can be as much as 90%.

  • Autar Singh Paintal (1925–2004)
    Indian J Physiol Pharmacol 2005; 49 (2) : 247–250 OBITUARY Autar Singh Paintal (1925–2004) What can I say that can change your lives? Perhaps I should ask you to do something that is very difficult. And so I am going to ask you to try to achieve perfection in your chosen areas of activity. (A.S. Paintal at the Institute Convocation of Delhi University of Technology, 1993) Professor Autar S. Paintal - an internationally acclaimed scientist in the area of cardio-respiratory physiology - died on December 21, 2004. He was born on September 24, 1925 in Mogok, Myanmar, where his father Dr. Man Singh was a physician in the service of the British Medical Service and possessed a strong socialist outlook, while Autar’s mother Rajwans Kaur was a deeply religious lady. Autar’s own life thus came to be moulded by both these systems of belief. At the age of 14, he was sent to Lahore to finish his matriculation, ahead of the evacuation of the family from Burma. Here, besides studying hard and starting on his inexhaustible fund of limericks that he subsequently became famous for, he learnt to row the large country boats that plied on the river Raavi. He stayed on at the Forman Christian College to write the Intermediate Examination of the Panjab University and after that he joined his family in Lucknow where his father chose to settle down. Admission into Medical College in 1943 was an easy matter for him but he needed financial support. Fortunately for him, he still held the status of a ‘Burma Evacuee’ and the Burmese Government came to his support.

  • Professor Subra Suresh Nanotechnology at the Intersections
    Professor Subra Suresh Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA Nanotechnology at the intersections of biology and engineering This lecture will deal with select topics at the intersections of nanotechnology, engineering, biology and human health. For this purpose, molecular changes induced by external factors or biochemical processes occurring naturally in the human body will be considered with a variety of state-of-the-art experimental and computational tools. The alterations to nanoscale responses of the whole cell, cell membrane and cytoskeleton will be explored. Attention will be focused on examples derived from applications of nanotechnology tools to the study of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax malaria, several types of hereditary hemolytic disorders, and metastatic invasion of tumor. Case studies of targeted gene inactivation methods to probe specific molecular effects at the intersections of nanotechnology, engineering, biology and human health will also be presented. Potential applications of these results for disease diagnostics, therapeutics and drug efficacy assays will also be explored. Brief CV Subra Suresh is the Dean of Engineering and Ford Professor of Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he holds joint faculty appointments in Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biological Engineering, and Health Sciences and Technology. He is recognized for his contributions to the areas of materials science, mechanical engineering, nanotechnology, and cell and molecular mechanics research in the context of human diseases. He has been elected to US Academy of Engineering, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Indian National Academy of Engineering, Indian Academy of Sciences, Royal Spanish Academy of Sciences, German National Academy of Sciences, and Academy of Sciences of the Developing World based in Trieste, Italy.

A TIONAL Later he received a Rockefeller Scholarship to pursue PhD from the Medical A. S. Paintal School in Edinburgh. Here he conceptualised the discovery of J-receptors. At S that time it was difficult to dissect single nerve fibres without impairing their (1925 – 2004) CIENCE activity. He found an innovative method of dipping the whole nerve in liquid paraffin to embed the whole nerve and isolate the single fibres without impairing their activity. This gave a tremendous boost to research in this area. A CADEMY In 1953 he returned to India and joined the Defence Laboratory in Kanpur. After five years he moved to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Autar Singh Paintal was perhaps India’s best known physiologist. He was a New Delhi as a researcher in Physiology.
