Comment: The article has whole paragraphs, and even sections, with no references. Aim to add independent reliable sources, not just the subject's employers.As a full professor and fellow of the National Academy of Medical Sciences I think he would be classified as notable enough to warrant an article, but it will help if you can make it clear what he has done that he is most notable for.

Research Career and Specialisations
[edit]Oxford
[edit]Following his appointment as a Consultant in Oxford's John Radcliffe and Churchill hospitals in 1990, along with Dr. Adrian Harris and Dr. Denis Talbot, Ganesan was instrumental in setting up medical oncology units. These dealt with all malignancies with an emphasis on clinical research primarily into early phase novel therapies. Ganesan's specific responsibilities included setting a strong gynaecological and urological cancer practice to aid in clinical research.
Ganesan was also the principal investigator and head of his own laboratory since 1990 at the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, Oxford. His major research interests covered cancer genetics and signal transduction specifically receptor tyrosine kinases. Ganesan has focused on the conduct of Phase I-III clinical trials and translational research. Initially, this was on leukaemia and lymphoma and subsequently in gynaecological malignancies and testicular cancer.
During his time at Oxford, Ganesan supervised 17 Medical Oncology Fellows, and 9 DPhil candidates. His research has been supported by the Cancer Research United Kingdom fund (earlier the Imperial Cancer Research Fund), and more.
Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences
[edit]Ganesan set up the institution's cancer wing,[5] and was instrumental in developing a modern chemotherapy administration day care and preparation room with adequate safety measures. In addition to developing an in-house training programme for nurses with specialisations in Oncology, Ganesan instituted several multidisciplinary tumour boards which cover all tumour types.
Ganesan's own research laboratory investigated areas in cancer biology, cancer stem cells, and signal transduction. Ganesan received funding from the Department of Biotechnology, the Indian Council for Medical Research, and the Board of Nuclear Sciences. Ganesan also supervised the molecular biology diagnostic laboratory.
Ganesan also set up and led a research institute at Amrita called the “Institute of Molecular Medicine”. The institute focused on research in basic science, as well as applied medical research in the context of health and disease. The main themes were computational biology, cancer biology, immunology, human genetics, signalling, haemopiesis, and stem cells.
During his time at Amrita, Ganesan supervised 5 Medical Oncology Fellows. He supervised six Ph.D. students conducting research on cancer biology.
Cancer Institute
[edit]Ganesan set up the institute's Clinical Research infrastructure, supervising the research of six residents appointed every year. Ganesan also led cytogenics research projects. His own research lab continued research into cancer stem cells and signal transduction.
During his time at the Cancer Institute, Ganesan supervised 30 Medical Oncology Fellows. He supervised 6 PhD students at his lab, and 2 post-doctoral fellows. Ganesan received funding from the Department of Biotechnology and the Department of Science and Technology.
Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research
