This is a small donation of 5 photographs and a certificate from moments in geneticist Rachel A Jesudasan's career, spanning roughly from 1986-2011. The photos show Jesudasan with colleagues and scientists such as Francis Crick and Ed Southern.
Rachel A Jesudasan is a molecular biologist retired after 31 years at CCMB, Hyderabad. She was born and brought up in Kottarakara, Kerala, and was educated in Rishi Valley School, Women's College in Thiruvananthapuram, and received her Ph.D. in BHU. She is known for her work in basic biology, particularly on the genetics and functionality of the Y-chromosome. Her lab studies the repeats present in human and mouse genomes. They have reported novel functions for transcripts from human Y heterochromatin and have also discovered novel functions for mouse Y heterochromatin. Through the study of circular DNAs, they investigate the organisation of the genome in different tissues. Presently, she is Advisor Research, Osmania University, and also Emeritus Scientist, Inter University Centre for Genomics and Gene Technology (IUCGGT), Kerala University, India.
