Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRakesh Mishra is a distinguished molecular biologist and research leader based in Hyderabad with over three decades of experience probing genome organization and epigenetic regulation. As Distinguished Emeritus Professor at AcSIR/CCMB and Director at the Tata Institute for Genetics and Society, he has led large teams to uncover functional elements in the non-coding genome and the epigenetic mechanisms that drive evolutionary complexity. His career spans senior leadership roles at CCMB, international postdoctoral training in Europe and the US, and foundational work in nucleic acids synthesis from his PhD at the University of Allahabad. Known for bridging deep mechanistic research with institutional strategy, he has steered national research agendas while maintaining an active lab program. Colleagues note his knack for reframing non-coding DNA from “junk” to functionally rich regulatory architecture, a perspective that has shaped his field. He brings a rare combination of long-term institutional leadership and hands-on experimental insight into genome regulation and evolution.
