Biography

Professor Ranbir Chander Sobti is an Emeritus Professor and Indian National Science Academy (INSA) senior scientist at Punjab University. He is a former Vice-Chancellor of the Panjab University, Chandigarh & Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (Central University), Lucknow. He started his career as a cytogeneticist and then moved on to molecular biology, including genomics, to understand the susceptibility and disease process of cancer, COPD, AIDS metabolic syndrome, and kidney diseases. He has also used stem cells and nanoparticles to understand the process of tissue organ development through a designed de-cellularization protocol.  He has published more than 300 research articles in the journals of international repute and has also published more than 40 books.

He is a Fellow of the Third World Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Sciences India, Indian National Science Academy, National Academy of Medical Sciences, National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Canadian Academy of Cardiovascular Diseases and few others. He was the General President of the Indian Science Congress for the 102nd session held at the University of Jammu in 2013. Dr. Sobti is the recipient of many prestigious awards like the INSA Young Scientist Medal, UGC Career Award, Punjab Rattan Award, JC Bose Oration and Sriram Oration Awards and of Lifetime Achievement Awards of the Punjab Academy of Sciences, Zoological Society of India, and the Environment Academy of India.
