Subhash Chandra Lakhotia

Indian biologist (born )

Subhash Chandra Lakhotia (born 4 October ) is an Indian cytogeneticist, academic, Distinguished Professor[1] of Zoology, and the Science & Engineering Research Board (SERB) Distinguished Fellow at the Banaras Hindu University.[2] He is known for his pioneering research on Drosophila with regard to its chromosome organization and replication.[3] A Raja Ramanna fellow of the Department of Science and Technology and the Department of Atomic Energy, he is an elected fellow of all three major Indian science academies: Indian National Science Academy, Indian Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Sciences, India.[4] He is a Senior Fellow of the Cell Stress Society International (USA).

The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards, in , for his contributions to biological sciences.[5]

Biography

Subhash Chandra Lakhotia was born on 4 October in Churu, a city near Thar desert in the Indian state of Rajasthan, to Dwarka Prasad-Suryakala couple.[6] He did his early schooling in Churu and then in Kolkata.

He graduated from Vidyasagar College of the Calcutta University in Zoology Honours in before obtaining his master's degree in Zoology and Comparative Anatomy in , both from the Calcutta University.[4] Continuing his doctoral studies at the same university at the Zoology Department, he secured his PhD in He did his post-doctoral studies at Delhi University during –71 and started his career as a lecturer at Burdwan University in Moving to Gujarat University in June , he stayed there until September before joining the Banaras Hindu University as a reader.

He became a full professor in and continued there until superannuation in In between, he carried out some advanced studies at the Institute of Animal Genetics of the University of Edinburgh during , at the University of California, Irvine during and at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge in After his formal superannuation, he continued his academic activities at the Banaras Hindu University as Emeritus Professor, INSA senior scientist from January to January [4] and is now working as the life-long Distinguished Professor and SERB Distinguished Fellow.

Legacy

Lakhotia's research is focused on cytogenetics, gene expression, cell and developmental biology.[7] He carried out pioneering research on Drosophila (fruit flies) with regards to its chromosome organization and replication, tissue-specific differences in expression of heat shock proteins, and discovery of Hsp60 in Drosophila.

He has carried out life-time studies on the organization and functions of the 93D or the hsromega gene long-non-coding RNA locus of Drosophila melanogaster.[8] During his doctoral studies on dosage compensation in Drosophila he further confirmed the hyperactive male-X model and elucidated its cellular autonomy.[9] His discovery of active transcription in heterochromatin in Drosophila in early s was one of the first documentations of transcriptional activity of heterochromatin.

His later studies revealed the existence of two distinct replicon types in different cell types of Drosophila.

He has been a pioneer researcher studying the long non-coding RNAs since s and has contributed significantly to a wider appreciation of their function through sustained studies on the hsromega gene.[8] His laboratory discovered the omega speckles[10] in Drosophila nuclei and established essential functions of the lncRNAs produced by the hsromega gene in organization of the intra-nuclear omega speckles.

His studies also helped identify how this lncRNA gene modulates apoptosis and neurodegeneration in Drosophila models of human diseases.

Since , he established Drosophila as a good model to understand the mechanisms of actions of some of the ayurvedic formulations.[11] His studies indicate that the Ayurvedic Amalaki Rasayana and Rasa-Sindoor can substantially suppress neurodegeneration associated with polyQ and Alzheimer's disorders.

Lakhotia contributed to the establishment of the Department of Molecular and Human Genetics at the Banaras Hindu University and to the installation of the Confocal microscope facility at his department.[4]

Besides his research contributions, Lakhotia is also well known for his many writings on education.[13] He served as a member of one of the sub-committees of the National Knowledge Commission, participated in the Committee on Science Education of the International Council for Science (ICSU) in and was a member of its review panel.[14] He was associated with the International Union of Biological Sciences, as a member of its executive committee from to and later as its vice president from to [15] He is a former member of the INSA council, a former vice president,[16] and vice president of its Inter-Academy Exchange Committee.[17] He was the editor-in-chief of its journal (Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy) from January to December He has been associated with the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, University Grants Commission of India, Department of Atomic Energy, Department of Science and Technology and Department of Biotechnology as a member of their various committees,[4] and has served or is continuing as a member of the editorial boards of journals such as Current Science, Journal of Biosciences, RNA Biology, Cell Stress and Chaperones and Annals of Neurosciences.

He is a life member of the Indian Society of Cell Biology, Indian Society of Developmental Biology, Cell Stress Society International, Genetics Society of America and RNA Society.[18]
