Nanduri R. Prabhakar, DSc is a leading authority in the field of O2 sensing and physiological consequences of chronic hypoxia. Prof. Prabhakar identified novel signalling pathways and molecular mechanisms underlined the morbidity associated with chronic intermittent hypoxia. His work on HIF-1 deficiency and impairment of carotid body - mediated cardio-respiratory responses during chronic intermittent hypoxia has changed our understanding on hypoxia. His research enlightened us on systemic, cellular and molecular mechanism of chemoreflex mediated sympatho excitation during chronic intermittent hypoxia. Professor Prabhakar currently is a Professor and Director of Medicine, University of Chicago, USA. A "Julius Comroe Oration Awardee" of American Physiological Society. Prof. Prabhakar also received "Prof. S.C Mahalanabish Memorial Oration Award of The Physiological Society of India". He is the System Biology Adviser of "BLDE University Journal of Health Sciences" .
