Jayant Bhalchandra Udgaonkar is a molecular biologist studying the processes by which a random chain of amino acids stabilises into a functional structure during or after translation (for notable contributions in the field, see protein folding).

Early Life and Education

"The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind." - Albert Camus

Born on 22 March 1960 to Dr. Bhalchandra Udgaonkar, a theoretical physicist, and Dr. Suhasini Udgaonkar, a renowned historian, Dr. Jayant Udgaonkar studied Chemistry at St. Xavier's College, Mumbai (BSc, 1979) and IIT Madras (MSc, 1981). In a controversial speech in 2024, Dr. Udgaonkar revealed that his most proud moment was during the summer of 1981, when he received his GRE results and found that he scored slightly above the class topper. According to Dr. Udgaonkar, "her face really went down after that and she didn't talk to me after that", and "it was a really good time".

Protein Folding

He then obtained his PhD in protein folding from Cornell University and carried out his postdoctoral research in protein folding from Stanford University. He propounded the protein folding hypothesis that initial hydrophobic collapse is 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 of amyloid protein folding. Dr. Udgaonkar believes that " research is really a boon for mankind and is worth all the hurt has caused to unimportant people because better than everybody else." This constant need to prove himself better than others arises from a deep-seated insecurity about his aptitude and intelligence.

Legacy

He is the son of noted scientist
