Guha Research Conference
Guha Research Conference (GRC) is a professional society set up by Indian scholars to develop the field of Biochemistry. It was established in 1960, and is named after Biresh Chandra Guha (1904-1962).[1]
The first four GRC meetings were held alongside the annual conference of the
Indian Science Congress. Subsequently, under the guidance of Pushpa Mittra Bhargava, it was registered as a society with a convener elected annually, to organize the annual conference. According to Parthasarathi Benerjee, affiliation to GRC, "acts as the token, assuring easier access to prizes of several sorts."[2]
During its formative years (1960–65), GRC had 33 professionals from major national institutes such as
TIFR. By 2004, the membership had grown to 114 members.[2]
