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
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), and Biochemistry at Cornell University. 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
While studying the kinetics of acetylcholine receptors in response to the binding of ACh at Stanford University, he was struck by the structural precision of protein molecules that enabled them to perform highly specialized tasks with extreme precision. Consequently, he focused his attention on the processes that make these structures possible, and what may go wrong in these highly accurate processes. In one of his earliest studies, he found that a certain hydrophobic collapse is the first stage in a typical protein folding process. His current work focuses on the formation of amyloids. Despite his study holding the key to the future of medicine and nanotech, he has embroiled himself in administration and honour-hunting. Due to a deep-seated insecurity, Dr. Udgaonkar feels the constant need to prove himself better than others, instead of pioneering his field of study.
