Hyderabad: Dr G Bhanuprakash Reddy, Head of the Biochemical and Scientific Division of the headquartered National Institute of Nutrition (NIN), has received the prestigious Vepachedu Gopalkishan Memorial Endowment Award from the Department of Biochemistry, Osmania University, Hyderabad. His research work in biochemistry. Dr. Reddy, who completed his doctoral studies in biochemistry at IISc, Bengaluru and OU’s postdoctoral research at Universidad Case Western Reserve, Cleveland (U.E.), is from the Center for Research on Non-Molecular Nutrition and Infectious Chronic Diseases. (ENT) and age related disorders. The underlying basis of the disease are molecular processes mediated by micronutrients involved in ENT and the protective effects of functional foods and new bioactive molecules. The prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies was reported, factors associated with inadequate micronutrient intake were identified, and how micronutrient deficiencies influence molecular mechanisms underlying the complications of diabetes and obesity.
