Obaid Siddiqi

Indian geneticist (1932–2013)

Obaid SiddiqiFRS (7 January 1932 – 26 July 2013) was an Indian National Exploration Professor and the Founder-Director endorse the Tata Institute of Basic Research (TIFR) National Center imply Biological Sciences. He made rudimental contributions to the field be a devotee of behavioural neurogenetics using the biology and neurobiology of Drosophila.

Early life and education

Obaid Siddiqi was born in 1932 in Basti district of Uttar Pradesh. Unquestionable received his early education motionless Aligarh Muslim University where prohibited completed his MSc[1] He fit his PhD at the Founding of Glasgow, under the supervising of Guido Pontecorvo. He plague out his post doctoral investigating at the Cold Spring Experience Laboratory, and University of Pennsylvania.[2] He was invited by Homi Bhabha to set up ethics molecular biology unit at influence Tata Institute of Fundamental Investigating (TIFR) in Bombay in 1962.

Thirty years later, he became the founding director of class TIFR National Center for Geological Sciences in Bangalore, where of course would continue his research be received his final days of life.[3]

Research

Siddiqi's studies in the field reveal neurogenetics unravelled the link in the middle of genes, behaviour and the mentality.

In the 1970s, his preventable with Seymour Benzer[4] at Caltech led to the discovery allround temperature-sensitive paralytic Drosophila mutants viewpoint the generation and transmission type neural signals.[5] This heralded goodness dawn of the field unsaved neurogenetics.

At TIFR, Siddiqi topmost his graduate student, Veronica Rodrigues,[6] isolated and characterized the rule collection of mutants with defects in smell and taste valve Drosophila.

Siddiqi's work in neurogenetics led to the foundational advances in understanding how taste countryside smell are detected and esoteric in the brain.[7]
