==Biography==
==Education==


Born in [[Madras]] (now [[Chennai]]) [[India]] in 1966, Shankar Balasubramanian moved to the UK with his parents in 1967. He grew up in a rural area just outside [[Runcorn]] in [[Cheshire]] and attended Daresbury Primary School, then Appleton Hall High School (which has since amalgamated to form [[Bridgewater High School (Warrington)|Bridgewater High School]]). He then went up to [[Fitzwilliam College]], [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge]], where he did his undergraduate degree in Natural Sciences (1985–88) and continued with a PhD under the supervision of [[Chris Abell]] (1988-1991).<ref name="fitz">{{cite web|url=http://www.fitz.cam.ac.uk/about/newsitem-3-198|title=Fitz alumni on top science list|year=2014|publisher=Fitzwilliam College|accessdate=06 February 2014}}</ref> He then travelled to the USA as a SERC/NATO Research Fellow and worked in the group of Professor Steven J Benkovic at [[Pennsylvania State University]] (1991-1993). He started his independent academic career in 1994 in the University of Cambridge and has remained there ever since, first as College Lecturer, then University Lecturer (1998), University Reader in Chemical Biology (2003) and Professor of Chemical Biology (2007).

Shankar Balsubramanian is an Indian-born British chemist.[3][4] He is the Herchel Smith Professor [5] of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Cambridge,[6][7] Senior Group Leader at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute [8] and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.[9] He is recognised for his contributions in the field of nucleic acids. He is scientific founder of Solexa [10] and Cambridge Epigenetix.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]

Education

Born in Madras (now Chennai) India in 1966, Shankar Balasubramanian moved to the UK with his parents in 1967. He grew up in a rural area just outside Runcorn in Cheshire and attended Daresbury Primary School, then Appleton Hall High School (which has since amalgamated to form Bridgewater High School). He then went on to study atFitzwilliam College, Cambridge, where he did his undergraduate degree in Natural Sciences (1985–88) and continued with a PhD supervised by Chris Abell (1988-1991).[18]

Career

Following his PhD, Balasubramanian travelled to the USA as a SERC/NATO Research Fellow and worked in the group of Professor Steven J Benkovic at Pennsylvania State University (1991-1993). He started his independent academic career in 1994 in the University of Cambridge and has remained there ever since, first as College Lecturer, then University Lecturer (1998), University Reader in Chemical Biology (2003) and Professor of Chemical Biology (2007). He was most recently appointed Herchel Smith Professor of Medicinal Chemistry in 2008.[19] He currently directs research laboratories in the Department of Chemistry [20][21] and also the CRUK Cambridge Institute at the Addenbrookes Biomedical Campus.[22]

Research

Balasubramanian works in the field of nucleic acids.

Shankar Balasubramanian is an internationally recognised leader in the field of nucleic acids who is distinguished for pioneering contributions to chemistry and its application to the biological and medical sciences. He is a principal inventor of the leading next generation sequencing methodology, Solexa sequencing, that has made routine, accurate, low-cost sequencing of human genomes a reality and has revolutionised biology. He has made seminal contributions to the identification, elucidation and manipulation of non-coding genetic elements, particularly four-stranded structures called G-quadruplexes. His work on the intervention of nucleic acid function using small molecules has revealed a number of molecular mechanisms that can be exploited, e.g. to modulate the biology of cancer.[23]

More recently Subramanian has been inventing and applying new chemical methods to study epigenetic changes to DNA bases.[24][25]
