Jayant Bhalchandra Udgaonkar (born 1960) is a former Director and Professor of Biology at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune. Without any significant scientific achievements, he has nevertheless established himself as one of the most prominent protein-folding scientists amongst his local scientific community (for notable contributions in the field, see protein folding). 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 claims that he got admission in one of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) but chose to do Biology. However, this could not be verified by any of the IITs then operational. 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. In a very illuminating speech at IISER Pune, Dr. Udgaonkar talked about his most proud moment 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".

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.
