Person
Professor Ranbir Chander Sobti is an Emeritus Professor and Indian National Science Academy (INSA) senior scientist at Punjab University. He is a former Vice-Chancellor of the Panjab University, Chandigarh, and the Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (Central University), Lucknow. He started his career as a cytogeneticist and then moved on to molecular biology, including genomics, to understand the susceptibility and disease processes of cancer, COPD, the AIDS metabolic syndrome, and kidney diseases. He has also used stem cells and nanoparticles to understand the process of tissue organ development through a designed de-cellularization protocol. He has published more than 300 research articles in journals of international repute and has also published more than 40 books.
He is a Fellow of the Third World Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences India, the Indian National Science Academy, the National Academy of Medical Sciences, the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the Canadian Academy of Cardiovascular Diseases, and a few others. He was the General President of the Indian Science Congress for the 102nd session held at the University of Jammu in 2013. Dr. Sobti is the recipient of many prestigious awards like the INSA Young Scientist Medal, the UGC Career Award, the Punjab Rattan Award, the JC Bose Oration and Sriram Oration Awards, and the Life Time Achievement Awards of the Punjab Academy of Sciences, the Zoological Society of India, and the Environment Academy of India.
