We moved from an initial selection of 10 candidates to 75 per year over a period of nearly a decade and a half.

As one of the many researchers who have benefited from this prestigious fellowship, I feel privileged to introduce Dr. V. Ramalingaswami and commemorate his 103rd birth anniversary.<br \/><br \/>As rightly noted by Sir Harold Walter, President of the 1976 World Health Assembly, Dr. Ramalingaswami was a physician, scientist, teacher, and humanist, excelling in each of these roles and seamlessly integrating them into a unified vision. Fondly called \u2018Rama\u2019 by his peers, Dr. Ramalingaswami was a multifaceted Indian medical scientist dedicated to understanding human diseases to alleviate suffering. He was a true gem of Indian academia. Devoted to science and policy issues, he worked across a broad range of disciplines, including community health, nutrition, liver diseases, and other critical areas of medical research. From laboratory work to clinical applications, he was undeniably a quintessential scientist.<br \/><br \/>Born on August 8, 1921, in Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh, Dr. Ramalingaswami was educated and worked at some of the finest medical institutions, which significantly contributed to his unparalleled achievements as a physician-scientist. After earning his medical degree and MD at Andhra Medical College, he worked with Dr. Hugh M. Sinclair at the University of Oxford, focusing on nutritional pathology. His doctoral thesis explored the role of essential fatty acids in phrynoderma, a rare dermatological condition linked to nutrition. Upon returning to India, he embarked on extensive research into various human diseases, including Kwashiorkor, Indian childhood cirrhosis, vitamin A and D deficiencies, goiter, and liver toxicity. His first international paper, published in The Lancet in 1952, titled \u201cHepatic cholesterol content in nutritional disorders,\u201d introduced the Indian scientific community to the world.<br \/><br \/>As a research officer at the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Dr. Ramalingaswami&#8217;s strong scientific acumen and vision propelled him to the position of deputy director of both ICMR and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi, in 1979. He made profound contributions to the health sector by establishing regional research centers, centers of excellence, and a talent-search program to attract young minds to research.<br \/><br \/>One of Dr. Ramalingaswami&#8217;s most significant translational contributions was in the field of nutritional anemia, a condition predominantly affecting young pregnant women in India due to iron deficiency. His work led to the formulation of the National Nutritional Anemia Control Program, aimed at improving the health of women and children. This study was later extended internationally and incorporated into WHO guidelines. His contributions to hepatology are equally noteworthy. His work on chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatocellular carcinoma led him to coin the term \u2018non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis.\u2019 He also studied Indian childhood cirrhosis and described the morphogenesis of atherosclerosis among Indians, linking cardiovascular diseases to high-cholesterol diets.<br \/><br \/>Dr. Ramalingaswami was also a founding member of the National Academy of Medical Sciences and a fellow of the Indian National Science Academy in 1971. He actively served on the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Government of India, in addition to being a special adviser to UNICEF and WHO. His accolades include prestigious awards such as the J. C. Bose Medal, Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award, Padma Shri, Padma Bhushan, and the Leon Bernard Foundation Award from WHO. Furthermore, the Indo-US Vaccine Action Program (VAP), a bilateral initiative still thriving today, was the brainchild of Dr. Ramalingaswami and Dr. Fred Robbins of the USA, aimed at developing indigenous competencies in immunodiagnostics and vaccine development.<br \/><br \/>The aptly named Ramalingaswami Re-entry Fellowship captures the essence of Dr. Ramalingaswami\u2019s research endeavors. It is not just a prestigious award but also a responsibility to advance research aligned with the values Dr. Ramalingaswami championed. Despite the challenges associated with returning faculty fellows, the fellowship is widely regarded as a successful initiative. Dr. Hari Kumar, a recipient of the fellowship, recollects how it served as a stepping stone for him to establish a solid research group in India:<br \/><br \/>\u201cReceiving the Ramalingaswami Fellowship was a profound honor. One month after joining RGCB, I activated my RLS fellowship. The biggest advantage was the flexibility associated with the grant, which allowed me to use it to meet my needs in the lab. Within two years, I managed to secure two other grants. The contingency fund in RLS served as seed money to initiate a few other projects in my lab while completing the approved objectives of my fellowship. DBT was also very supportive of the timely release of funds. The fellowship not only provided resources but also connected me with a community of like-minded scholars dedicated to pushing boundaries and making meaningful contributions.\u201d \u2014 Dr. Hari Kumar K.B., RLS fellow (2012), Scientist E-II, BRIC- RGCB, Thiruvananthapuram.<br \/><br \/>Dr. Sanjay Mishra, another former fellowship awardee and now an advisor at DBT for RLF, explains how the fellowship pivoted his scientific career in India:<br \/><br \/>\u201cThe RLS Fellowship has been a milestone in my career, as it gave me a strong reason and footing to return to India. I never imagined that one day I would be responsible for the same fellowship! I hope that many more scientists working abroad will take advantage of this opportunity to return to India. The Ramalingaswami Fellowship has created a vibrant network of researchers united in advancing knowledge and addressing critical scientific challenges. The legacy of Dr. Ramalingaswami is embedded in our collaborative spirit and shared dedication to making a difference.\u201d \u2014 Dr. Sanjay Mishra, Senior Advisor, Department of Biotechnology, GOI.<br \/><br \/>This initiative has shaped and nurtured the scientific careers of many. The fellows have significantly contributed to the growth of the Indian scientific ecosystem through patents, innovative technologies, and entrepreneurial opportunities. On a personal note, working in the field of liver diseases and metabolic syndrome, being a part of the Ramalingaswami Fellowship is an honor. It\u2019s not just about funding; it\u2019s about being part of a legacy that values dedication, innovation, and the aspiration to solve real-world problems, just as Dr. Ramalingaswami did.<br \/><br \/>In honoring Dr. Ramalingaswami\u2019s legacy, the fellowship not only celebrates past achievements but also inspires future generations to continue the journey of discovery and innovation.
