Legends of Science
Siddhartha Roy Siddhartha Roy

Siddhartha Roy obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Delaware in 1981. He worked on protein folding and NMR studies of DNA. He explored the structural and energetic basis of regulation of transcription as well as the origin of specificity in protein-nucleic acids interaction. He first formulated the role of differential contact in the mechanism of transcription regulation and went on to demonstrate the validity of this theory in several gene regulatory circuits. Dr. Roy was conferred with the SS Bhatnagar Award in 1999; Meritorious Service Award by the Department of Health and Human Services, USA; Tata Innovation Fellowship by DBT and JC Bose Fellowship by DST.

Kalappagowda Muniyappa Kalappagowda Muniyappa

Kalappagowda Muniyappa obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Mysore in 1980. He made significant contributions to the research like chromosome synapsis, genetic recombination, telomerase dynamics, cell senescence, and genome stability. He uncovered a direct role for DNA damage response proteins in telomere length homeostasis, cell senescence, and cell cycle checkpoint control. He led the way in deciphering genetic recombination in TB bacilli, which provided important insights into the genetic exchange and lateral gene transfer mechanisms. He is the Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore (1994); National Academy of Sciences, Allahabad (1998). Dr. Muniyappa is the recipient of the SS Bhatnagar award in 1995, Eleanor Roosevelt award in 1995; Kempe Gowda award in 2007.
