Legends of Science
Mahitosh Mandal Mahitosh Mandal

Mahitosh Mandal secured his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Chemical Biology. His main research areas include cancer therapeutics, drug delivery, therapeutic resistance, and diagnostics. Their team is evaluating several possible biomarkers and their efficacy in targeted therapy. The molecular mechanisms promoting radio and chemoresistance in cancer are being deciphered. He is an elected fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, Allahabad, and the Indian Academy of Sciences, Bengaluru. Dr. Mandal also received Basanti Devi Amir Chand Award by ICMR; Prof. S. S. Katiyar Endowment Award by the Indian Science Congress; Subha Mukherjee Memorial Award by the Physiological Society of India.

Ashok Sadanand Kolaskar Ashok Sadanand Kolaskar

Ashok Kolaskar obtained his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, in 1976. His areas of research are bioinformatics, molecular immunology, and computational chemistry. He initiated the nucleic acid sequence data analysis in India and developed a simple but accurate method to predict protein-coding regions in prokaryotic DNA. A numerical coding system developed by him that codes complete properties is used to prepare the world's largest computerized data bank for animal viruses. He is an elected fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences, Bengaluru, and Maharashtra Academy of Sciences. He received the PARAM award from the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing.
