Sandhya Srikant Visweswariah is a scientist and academic at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. She is currently the Chairperson of the Department of Molecular Reproduction, Development and Genetics [1] and the Co-chair of the Centre for Biosystems Science and Engineering, [2] Indian Institute of Science. She additionally holds the position of Adjunct Professor, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, [3] University of Bergen, [4] Norway. Her research involves the investigation of the mechanism of signal transduction via cyclic nucleotides, phosphodiesterases and novel cyclases in bacteria. [5] Most recently, she was awarded a Bill and Melinda Gates Grand Challenges Explorations Grant [6] for her proposal entitled "A Small Animal Model of ETEC-Mediated Diarrhea". [7] [8]
Visweswariah completed her Bachelor of Science in 1977 at Osmania University, [9] Hyderabad, majoring in Botany, Chemistry and Zoology. She then obtained a Master of Science degree in chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur in 1980. She proceeded to enrol at the PhD programme at the Department of Biochemistry, [10] Indian Institute of Science and was awarded her doctorate in 1987. [11]
Visweswariah started her career as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at Astra Research Centre, Bangalore in 1987-1988. After a year at the Astra Research Centre, she was promoted to a scientist position at the same organization, where she stayed on until 1993. In 1993, she was appointed as Assistant Professor at the Department of Molecular Reproduction, Development and Genetics, [12] Indian Institute of Science, where she has held a position since, being promoted to Associate Professor in 1995 and then to Professor in 2005. [13] She is currently the Chairperson of the Department of Molecular Reproduction, Development and Genetics, [12] Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and Co-chair of the Centre for Biosystems Science and Engineering, [2] Indian Institute of Science. Over the course of 23 years as faculty at the Indian Institute of Science, Visweswariah has mentored more than 25 PhD students. [14]
Visweswariah is a fellow of the Indian National Science Academy [15] and the Indian Academy of Sciences: Third World Organisation for women in science. [16] She is a life member of the Society of Biological Chemists (India), [17] [18] Indian Society of Cell Biology [19] (1995–present) and the Society of Research in Reproduction, India (1994–present). Additionally, she is a member of Guha Research Council, India (1997–present), the Alliance for Cell Signalling [20] (1997–present), the TB Structural Genomics Consortium, the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology [21] (ASBMB), and the American Society for Microbiology (ASM). [22]
She serves as the Editorial Board Member of the Journal of Receptors and Signal Transduction, Tuberculosis, [23] Physiology Reports, [24] FEMS Microbiological Letters [25] and PeerJ and an Associate Editor of Frontiers in Cellular Endocrinology. [26]
Visweswariah has 95 publications in peer-reviewed journals and 5 book chapters to her credit, with a total citation count of over 1600 and an h-index of 25. The full list of publications from the Visweswariah lab can be found on PubMed [42] [43] and ResearchGate. [44] [45] These are some of the selected publications of Visweswariah. [46]
