Dr. M. V. Hosur obtained M.Sc degree in Physics from Karnataka University, Dharwad and Ph. D. degree from the Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. For his Ph. D. thesis in the field of X-ray Crystallography of biological molecules he was awarded Martin Forster Gold Medal by Indian Institute of Science. After retirement from BARC, Mumbai, as Head, Protein Crystallography Section, he is presently adjunct professor at National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bangalore. As a post-doctoral fellow at University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA and Purdue University, USA, he has resolved to atomic detail structures of viruses, which are huge protein assemblies with molecular weights in the mega Dalton region. He has used crystallography to gain insight into mechanisms of enzyme-catalysis and drug-resistance in relation to HIV-AIDS. His current research interests are in the fields of structural biology and genomics related to chikungunya, epilepsy and other neurological disorders. Dr. Hosur has been Visiting Scientist, National Cancer Institute, Frederick, Maryland, USA, and Wenner-Grenn Fellow, Lund University, Sweden. Dr. Hosur was invited by the Swedish council for Nobel Prize in Chemistry to recommend names for the award of Nobel Prize, for the years 2006 – 2010. Dr. Hosur MV has co-chaired sessions in the IUCr conference organized by the International Union of Crystallography in Madrid, Spain. Dr. Hosur is a Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi. Dr. Hosur is a member of following INSA committees: 1) committee to screen election of new Fellows, 2) committee for the selection of INSA Young Scientists Award, and 3) Awards committee for the year 2019. He is also a member of the expert committee on synchrotron usage, set up by DBT, Government of India and the big-data analytics committee set up by Principal Scientific Adviser, Government of India, New Delhi.
