Utpal Bhadra ] a renowned International Scientist, worked earlier as a Senior Principal Scientist ( Deputy Director) in the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), CSIR in Hyderabad, India. Bhadra is known for his work on Gene Silencing and RNA interference, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in the United Kingdom in 2016. He is called as 'RNAI MAN' as nick name in Asia (Biosketch BioAsia). He and his wife showed that cosuppression or transgene silencing was also active in nonhomologous transgenes and also involved via mutually related endogenous sequences. Bhadra, along with his wife, Dr. Manika Pal Bhadra, and Prof. Jim Birchler of the University of Missouri, invented cossuppression in Animal system in 1997 that was the first example of gene silencing in animal systems. His work published in the "CELL" journal. Then They also established that RNAI plays a key and revolutionaries role Heterochromain formation in animal tumor cells particularly in Cancer in Science that was in the top ten ranking papers for three consecutive years.

Bhadra has been establishing first and spreading knowledge of RNA Interference Technology throughout India and Asia-Pacific region by delivering the talks in different educational Institutes in Singapore, Taiwan and Japan etc. He also established the potential like between transcriptional and Post transcriptional gene silencing in 2002 Molecular Cell 9; 315-327.

Based on this long standing contributionin Chemical Industries, On behalf of University of Kalyani, West Bengal Governor awarded him ‘ Doctor of Science’ (D.Sc., Honory causa) of Chemical Biology in 2016. University of Kalyani 27 th convocation news letter
