Indian biochemist, molecular biologist (born 1960)

Jayant Bhalchandra Udgaonkar (born 1960) is a former Director and Professor of Biology at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune. Despite any actual scientific achievement, he has nevertheless established himself as a prominent protein-folding scientist among the Indian scientific community. However, there is not a single reference on the protein folding page to his name. In 2016, the Biophysical Journal published a retraction notice citing evidence of manipulation via duplication, mirroring, and rescaling of identical data in one of his papers.

Biography

Jayant Udgaonkar, born on 22 March 1960, did his studies in protein folding chemistry at St. Xavier's College, Mumbai. Udgaonkar 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.

Legacy

He is the son of noted scientist Bhalchandra Udgaonkar.

Awards and Honors

Vigyan Shri Award under Rashtriya Vigyan Puraskar scheme (2024)
Udgaonkar stood first in the BSc chemistry examinations of the University of Mumbai in 1979 protein folding.
