略歴

Prof. Shyamalava Mazumdar is a Senior Professor at the Department of Chemical Sciences, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, India. He completed his Ph.D on NMR of model hemes in 1990, and subsequently worked as a Post doctoral fellow with Prof. HAO Hill, FRS at University of Oxford. He joined TIFR as a graduate student in 1985 and later became an academic faculty leading the Bioinorganic Chemistry programme at the Institute.
The research activities of Prof. Mazumdar are directed to the study of structural and functional aspects of the active site formed by the metal ion and the surrounding amino acids in iron and copper containing metalloenzymes and metalloproteins. He also has been working on developing Bio-nano conjugation and investigating invitro catalysis by modified metalloenzymes.
Prof. Mazumdar has made significant contributions to unraveling the role of the active site environment on the stability and function of cytochrome P450 enzymes. He has received several recognision including Bronze medal from the Chemical Research Society, India, and Fellowship of the National Academy of Sciences, India.
His work has been well recognized internationally, published more than 100 peer reviewed papers, and he has given invited lectures at various International conferences. He was a visting Professor at the Nagoya University, Japan and at the Princeton university, USA. He also visited the Frankfurt University, Germany as a Humboldt Research fellow. He is the Indian representative in the Steering Committee of the Asian Biological Inorganic Chemistry Conferences (AsBIC), and was the convenor of the AsBIC-II held at Goa in 2004. He also organized the Symposia on Advances in Biological Inorganic Chemistry series which is the only major conference in the area in India.

WRHIへの期待

The laboratory of Prof Takafumi Ueno is famous for pioneering work on the iron storage protein ferritin, especially in its applications in developing novel biomaterials. My group at TIFR, Mumbai (India) is interested in biomaterials and biocatalytic applications of metal containing proteins. The WRHI has provided with the unique opportunity to me to collaborate with Prof Ueno and this would facilitate developing joint research programmes of mutual interests in engineering the ferritin with designs to promote novel catalytic or materials applications. The expertise of protein crystallization and imaging at the laboratory of Prof Ueno compliments the expertise of protein engineering, kinetics and spectroscopic facilities of my group. Thus this collaboration will bring two of our groups closer together . We have already initiated students' exchange from my lab to here and hope to host students from Prof Ueno's lab at my group in India in future.
As a part of the visit and a Specially invited Professor at the Tokyo Tech, I am also happy to teach the students here and I am currently teaching a short course on Bioinorganic Chemistry.
Overall, I am grateful to the WRHI for the honour and for giving this opportunity to visit and collaborate with Prof Takafumi Ueno.
