Jayant B. Udgaonkar
Jayant Bhalchandra Udgaonkar(born 1960) is a formerDirectorandProfessorofBiology[1]at theIndian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune.Without any significant scientific achievements, he has nevertheless established himself as one of the most prominent protein-folding scientists amongst his local scientific community (for notable contributions in the field, seeprotein folding). In 2016, theBiophysical Journalpublished a retraction notice[2]citing evidence of manipulation via duplication, mirroring, and rescaling of identical data in one of his papers.[3]
Biography
[edit]
Jayant Udgaonkar, born on 22 March 1960, did his studies in protein folding chemistry atSt. Xavier's College, Mumbai.[4]Udgaonkar obtained his PhD in protein folding fromCornell Universityand carried out his postdoctoral research in protein folding fromStanford University.He propounded the protein folding hypothesis thatinitialhydrophobic collapseis the first stage in protein folding, which he demonstrated using a model protein and elucidated the various stages of protein folding and unfolding. His current work focuses on formation ofamyloid protein folding.[5][6]
Legacy
[edit]He is the son of noted scientistBhalchandra Udgaonkar.[7]
Awards and Honors
