PROF. V. NAGARAJA, PhD, Professor, Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, Karnataka
Dr. V. Nagaraja (born 16 May 1954) is a Professor, Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. He had received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in the year 1973 and 1975 from the Bangalore University. He completed his Ph.D. in 1981 from Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology at IISc and the work on mycobacteriophage I3 and role of DNA gyrase in mycobacteria set the stage for his later work when he joined the Institute as an assistant professor in 1989. After his PhD in 1981, he was a research associate at Biozentrum, University of Basel, Switzerland (1981–85) and at Department of Biology, University of Rochester, USA(1985–89). He joined in 1989 as an Assistant Professor, in Centre for Genetic Engineering, IISc and was involved in setting up of the department. He became an associate professor in 1995 at Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology, IISc, Professor in 2000 and served as professor and chairman of the department (2008–2013).

PROF. SUMANTRA CHATTARJI, PhD, Professor, National Center for Biological Sciences (NCBS), TIFR, Rajiv Gandhi Nagar, Kodigehalli, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560065
Sumantra "Shona" Chattarji received his Master’s degree in Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur. He then went on to do a PhD in Neuroscience, under the supervision of Terry Sejnowski, at the Johns Hopkins University and Salk Institute. After post-doctoral research at Yale University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), he started his own laboratory at the National Centre for Biological Sciences, India in 1999. His laboratory studies the effects of stressful experiences on synapses, and cells in the amygdala. His research has identified several novel neural correlates of stress-induced plasticity in the amygdala, which are strikingly different from those observed in the hippocampus. His lab also studies synaptic defects and their reversal in Fragile X Syndrome, the leading identified cause of autism.
