Desh Pal S. Verma is a plant cell and molecular biologist. Verma is Professor Ameritus at the Department of Molecular Genetics, Ohio State University. He has formerly been a member of several interdisciplinary graduate programs including molecular cellular and developmental biology, applied plant sciences, plant pathology, and biochemistry programs.
Career
Desh Pal S. Verma began his career at the McGill University, Canada where he received National Research Council's Stacie Award given by the Governor General of Canada Edward Schreyer in 1981 for being the best young scientist is his field. He was later elected as the Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and the member of the Canadian Academy of Sciences in 1986.[1] In 1987 Verma founded the International Society of Molecular Plant-microbe Interactions (IS-MPI) which later developed into the Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions Journal of which he was a co-editor.[citation needed] In 2003, he was inducted as a Fellow of The World Academy of Sciences in Italy.[2] He received a Docteur Honoris Causa from the Universite de Picardie, France in 1996.
Verma's work in the field of biotechnology includes isolation of first plant mRNA,[3] cloning the first plant gene,[citation needed] discovery of many new genes named as Nodulins[4] including the one encoding Uricase[5] based on which a similar enzyme was isolated from raspberry which is being used by a biotechnology company to make a recombinant enzyme for the treatment of hyperuricemia.
He has trained over 165 graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and visiting scientists in his labs both in Canada and USA. His work led to the creation of several companies in Canada, India and USA. He is currently engaged with a biotechnology company in USA in developing Lectins as molecular tools to identify cancer biomarkers and building glycoGPT, an AI based platform for glycobiology.[citation needed]
Select publications
Verma has published over 220 research papers, edited 11 books and has been an international speaker for the last 50 years. He has consulted with many international companies such as Monsanto,[citation needed] DuPont,[citation needed] Bayer,[citation needed] Matrix Labs,[citation needed] and advised the Planning Commission of India (currently NITI Aayog) from 2006–2011 in the area of agriculture biotechnology.[citation needed]
