BASANTI DEVI AMIR CHAND PRIZE
-
DR. SHALLY AWASTHISubject :Year : 2016 -
Address
The Basanti Devi Amir Chand Prize is the earliest instituted award of ICMR, founded in 1953 by (Late) Major General Amir Chand for the significant research contributions made by scientists in the field of biomedical sciences. This prize is awarded to a research scientist engaged in any area of biomedical sciences. The award for the year 2016 is being presented to Dr. Shally Awasthi, Department of Paediatrics, King George's Medical University, Lucknow for the research work on 'Effect of 6 monthly vitamin A supplementation with and without deworming on all-cause mortality in children 1-5 years of age in Uttar Pradesh'. Dr. Awasthi has conducted the clinical trial 'DEVTA' Trial,-6 monthly mass vitamin A supplementation with or with-out albendazole, involving one million pre-school children over 6 years in UP. DEVTA refutes earlier claims of one-third mortality reduction with vitamin A supplementation and provides evidence base for national deworming day. -

ICMR CHATURVEDI KALAWATI JAGMOHAN DAS MEMORIAL AWARD
-
DR. D. S. ARYASubject :Year : 2015 -
Address
The ICMR Chaturvedi Kalawati Jagmohan Das Memorial Award was instituted in 1975 by Dr. S. P. Chaturvedi in memory of his parents. This prize is awarded to a scientist for his/her work in the field of Cardiovascular Disease. The award for the year 2015 is being presented jointly to Dr. D. S. Arya, Department of Pharmacology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi for the research work on 'Telmisartan, a dual ARB/partial PPAR-Gamma agonist, protects myocardium from ischaemic reperfusion injury in experimental diabetes'. Dr. Arya's research has depicted that telmisartan has a beneficial effect in cardiac I/R injury in diabetic rats in part because of activation of PPAR-Gamma . This could be highly beneficial as most diabetic patients with heart disease are on anti-hypertensives mainly ARBs due to side effects of ACE-I. -

The award for the year 2015 is being presented jointly to Dr. Akshya Kumar Bisoi, Department of Cardio-Thoracic and Vascular Surgery, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi for the research work on 'Arterial switch operation in transposition of great Arteries with intact ventricular septum - Going beyond boundary'. Dr. A.K. Bisoi has been working intensively on primary arterial switch operation for children with transposition of great arteries with regressed left ventricle. This work has redefined the concept of regression. Use of integrated-ECMO has expanded the safety and the scope of cardiac surgery for sick children with a weak heart. -

-
DR. SANGITA MUKHOPADHYAYSubject :Year : 2015 -
Address
The ICMR Chaturvedi Ghanshyam Das Jaigopal Das Memorial Award was instituted in 1985 by Dr. S. P. Chaturvedi in memory of his parents. This prize is awarded to a scientist for his/her work in the field of Immunology. The award for the year 2015 is being presented to Dr. Sangita Mukhopadhyay, Laboratory of Molecular Cell Biology, Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics, Hyderabad for the research work on 'Hijacking of macrophages immune responses by Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Translation to therapeutics'. Dr. Mukhopadhyay has identified how Mycobacterium tuberculosis suppress host protective T-cell responses by manipulating macrophage class-I antigen presentation and TLR2-LRR domain-specific regulation of cytokine signaling. These findings will be useful in development of therapeutics to boost up host-immune responses against tuberculosis. -
