Great Personalities of Tamil Nadu

Indian-born American physicist and molecular biologist by name Venki Ramakrishnan

Born 1952, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, India

Indian-born American physicist and molecular biologist who was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, along with American biophysicist and biochemist Thomas Steitz and Israeli protein crystallographer Ada Yonath, for his research into the atomic structure and function of cellular particles called ribosomes. (Ribosomes are tiny particles made up of RNA and proteins that specialize in protein synthesis and are found free or bound to the endoplasmic reticulum within cells.)

In 1971 Ramakrishnan earned a bachelor’s degree in physics from Baroda University in Gujarat, India, and in 1976 he received a doctoral degree in physics from Ohio University in the United States. From 1976 to 1978 he took classes as a graduate student in biology at the University of California, San Diego, and worked with Mexican American biochemist Mauricio Montal, studying a molecule called rhodopsin, which forms channels in cell membranes. Thus, although Ramakrishnan’s initial academic background prepared him for a career in theoretical physics, his interests later shifted toward molecular biology. He conducted his postdoctoral research from 1978 to 1982 at Yale University in New Haven, Conn. At Yale he worked in the laboratory of American molecular biophysicist and biochemist Peter Moore and learned to use a technique known as neutron scattering to investigate the structure of the small subunit of ribosomes in the bacterium Escherichia coli (ribosomes are composed of two distinct subunits, one large and one small).

A.N. Tiwari is the new Chief Information Commissioner – 30.09.2010

A.N. Tiwari is the new Chief Information Commissioner – 30.09.2010

Information Commissioner A. N. Tiwari is the new Chief Information Commissioner, succeeding Wajahat Habibullah. He will, however, hold the job only till December 19, 2010 when he is due to retire, and this is, therefore, virtually a stop-gap arrangement.

Mr. Tiwari's name was cleared after consultations with the BJP, the principal Opposition party. A 1969 batch IAS officer and former Secretary, Department of Personnel and Training, his name has been forwarded to President Pratibha Patil for appointment as successor to Mr. Habibullah, who demitted office on 29.09.2010.

Mr. Tiwari's appointment comes after a year of indecision on who should succeed Mr Habibullah. While the government was keen that he should be replaced by a bureaucrat, civil society groups had been putting forward names of various activists.
