Assistant Professor in the Department of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, School of Life Sciences, University of Hyderabad (UoH), Dr Nooruddin Khan has been bestowed with prestigious ICMR awards – Shakuntala Amir Chand Prize and ICMR Chaturvedi Kalawati Jagmohan Das Memorial Award at the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
Hyderabad: Assistant Professor in the Department of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, School of Life Sciences, University of Hyderabad (UoH), Dr Nooruddin Khan has been bestowed with prestigious ICMR awards – Shakuntala Amir Chand Prize and ICMR Chaturvedi Kalawati Jagmohan Das Memorial Award at the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Anupriya Patel presented the award to the UoH researcher Dr Nooruddin Khan at the annual award ceremony of ICMR, held on October 11.
Dr Khan has been awarded the Shakuntala Amir Chand Prize for the research work on “Molecular mechanisms of vaccine induced protective immunity”. Khan's findings have a potential bearing for the design and development of novel vaccine formulation against emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.
The UoH Professor was one of the few awardees who received another highly prestigious ICMR Chaturvedi KalawatiJagmohan Das Memorial Award for outstanding research contribution in the field of Immunology.
Dr Khan received this award for his work on understanding the regulatory mechanisms through which immune cells sense and respond to the conditions of nutrient restriction. The finding suggests that activation of nutrient sensing pathway during amino acid starvation triggers homeostatic processes that elicits anti-viral properties to Flavi-viruses as well provide protection from inflammation associated pathologies during Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
The UoH researcher published research papers in renowned journals such as Science, Nature, PLOS computational biology, Nature Immunology, Blood, Immunology, International Immunology, Cellular Microbiology, etc. and he is recipient of several national and international awards.
He is visiting and courtesy assistant professor at the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Cornell University, USA.
