    • Madan Rao (born 11 July 1960) is an Indian condensed matter and biological physicist and a senior professor at National Centre for Biological Sciences. Known for his research on molecular dynamics on cell surface, Rao is an elected fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences and the Indian National Science Academy. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards, for his contributions to physical sciences in 2004.[1][note 1]

    Biography

    IIT Bombay

    Born on 11 July 1960, Madan Rao did his master's studies at the

    Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar laureate.[4] He is also associated with the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research as an associate faculty.[5]

    Rao lives in Bengaluru, in the south Indian state of Karnataka.[6]

    Legacy

    At NCBS, Rao worked on non-equilibrium properties of

    mitochondrial morphogenesis, chromatin organization, soft active matter physics and biomolecular dynamics are some of the other areas he has worked on.[9] His studies have been documented by way of a number of articles[10][note 2] and the online article repository of the Indian Academy of Sciences has listed 33 of them.[11] He was also a member of the organizing committee of the Conference on Frontiers in Materials Modelling and Design held in Kalpakkam in 1996.[12]
