These Indina-American awardee are Harvinder Singh Gill of Texas Tech University, Rahul M. Kohli of the University of Pennsylvania, Rajat Rohatgi of Stanford University and Vikaas S. Sohal, of the University of California-San Francisco, for “Reverse Engineering the Prefrontal Microcircuit.”

Four Indian Americans including an alumnus of Panjab University were among the 50 researchers recently named as recipients of the 2012 New Innovator Awards. These awardee are Harvinder Singh Gill of Texas Tech University, Rahul M. Kohli of the University of Pennsylvania, Rajat Rohatgi of Stanford University and Vikaas S. Sohal, of the University of California-San Francisco, for “Reverse Engineering the Prefrontal Microcircuit.”

Harvinder Singh Gill has been awarded for his outstanding work in “Pollen Grains as Trojan Horses for Oral Vaccination”; Rahul M. Kohli for “Combating Bacterial Drug Resistance by Targeting the Enzymes of Evolution”; Rajat Rohatgi for “Reconstructing Primary Cilia” and Vikaas S. Sohal for “Reverse Engineering the Prefrontal Microcircuit.”

According to reports, Harvinder Singh Gill, an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas Tech University, received his BE degree in chemical engineering from Panjab University in Chandigarh, his Ph.D. in bioengineering from Georgia Institute of Technology and his post-doctoral degree in microbiology and immunology from Emory University.

Besides this, Rahul M Kohli, an assistant professor in the Division of Infectious Disease at the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, received his BS degree in biochemistry from the University of Michigan and his Ph.D. degree in biochemistry and molecular pharmacology from Harvard Medical School.

Rajat Rohatgi, an assistant professor of medicine and, by courtesy, of biochemistry and an attending physician in the Thoracic Oncology Clinic at the Stanford Cancer Center, received his A.B. degree in biomedical sciences from Harvard University and his Ph.D. degree from Harvard Medical School.

Vikaas Sohal, an assistant professor in residence of the University of California San Francisco, received his Ph.D. degree from Stanford University, where he did his postgraduate training at the Stanford University Medical Center, acquiring psychiatry residency and research fellowship.
