He is Secretary〔(Events:: DBT - Department of Biotechnology ). Dbtindia.nic.in (28 January 2013). Retrieved on 8 October 2013.〕 of Department of Biotechnology, India since 28 January 2013, replacing Maharaj Kishan Bhan. He was conferred the Padma Shri by the Govt. of India on 26 January 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/list-of-padma-awardees-322445 )〕 He is also a recipient of the Infosys Prize in the life sciences category in 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.infosys-science-foundation.com/winner_ls_VijayRaghavan.html )〕 In 2012 he was elected a Fellow of The Royal Society. In April 2014 he was elected as a (Foreign Associate of the US National Academy of Sciences ). VijayRaghavan graduated with a Bachelor of Technology degree in Chemical Engineering from IIT Kanpur in 1975 and Masters in 1977. He completed his doctoral research in 1983 in the field of Molecular Biology and holds a Ph.D from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. During his post-doctoral work, from 1984 to 1985, he was a Research Fellow and then, from 1986 to 1988, a Senior Research Fellow at the California Institute of Technology. == Career == In 1988, he joined the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research as a Reader and in 1992, when the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), which is under the aegis of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research was founded joined NCBS. In August 1991, he moved to Bangalore and was instrumental in the establishment of NCBS in Bangalore.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ncbs.res.in/history )〕 He is Distinguished Professor in the field of Developmental Genetics and former Director of the National Centre of Biological Sciences. His fields of specialization are Developmental Biology, Genetics and Neurogenetics. His research primarily focuses on the important principles and mechanisms that control nervous system and muscles during development and how these neuromuscular systems direct specific locomotor behaviours. This was achieved by using the fruit fly Drosophila Melanogaster as a model system. By patterning the segmental organization of the fly body plan, his research was able to shed more light on the functions of Hox genes in directing neuromuscular connectivity and motor behaviors. He is on the Management Board of the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.icts.res.in/organisation/ )〕 of TIFR and of the TIFR Centre for Interdisciplinary Sciences, coming up in Hyderabad. VijayRaghavan is also a director of the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ccamp.res.in/board-directors.html )〕 He is a member of the Board of Governors of the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology,〔(Board of Governors | Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University OIST ).
