Brahmachari with the S.S. Bhatnagar Memorial Award during the Inaugural
session of the 96th Indian Science Congress on 3 January 2009 at Shillong.
The Award was given to Prof. Brahmachari for his significant and lifetime
contribution to the development of Science and Technology in the country.
The
Award seeks to honour his key contributions in the development of Science and
Technology – specifically in the area of Structural Biology, Disease Genomics
and Genome Analysis and also for the role he has played as an institution builder
in this area; shaping the way this emerging field should develop in the future.
