Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur is proud to announce that two esteemed faculty members from the Department of Bioscience & Bioengineering have been recognised by the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) for the year 2025.
Prof. Amit Mishra has been elected as a recipient of the INSA Associate Fellowship (IAF) in recognition of his outstanding research contributions to understanding neuronal protein quality control mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases. His work has elucidated the critical role of selective and multifaceted E3 ubiquitin ligases in defending against the accumulation of misfolded proteins. These findings not only offer a deeper insight into neurobiological defence mechanisms but also pave the way for identifying novel therapeutic targets for treating neurodegeneration and age-associated disorders.
Dr. Sucharita Dey, Assistant Professor in the same department, has been selected as a recipient of the INSA Young Associateship (IYA) for the year 2025. Dr. Dey has developed a scalable AI/ML-based strategy for the proteome-wide prediction of homo-obligomeric protein complexes, leading to the identification of hundreds of novel assemblies, including experimentally validated megadalton structures. Her innovative approach bridges computational biology and molecular science, significantly advancing the understanding of protein assembly and function.
The Director, faculty, staff, and students of IIT Jodhpur congratulate Prof. Mishra and Dr. Dey on this prestigious national recognition and celebrate their contribution to cutting-edge bioscience research. Their achievements further strengthen IIT Jodhpur’s vision of fostering interdisciplinary research that addresses grand scientific challenges with global impact.
