Gupta is married to Rita and the couple has two sons, Ashish (married to Nidhi, blessed with 2 sons named Tanish and Aadish) and Manish (married to Ankita, blessed with a daughter named Anaisha. The family lives in Gurgaon.[4]
Career
[edit]Gupta's research covered the field of reproductive biology and he is known to have made studies on the effect of human hormones viz. Human chorionic gonadotropin and Gonadotropin-releasing hormone on reproductive functions.[5] The team led by him has carried out elaborate investigations on Zona pellucida, a layer of glycoprotein enveloping the plasma membrane of mammalian oocytes[10] and these studies have assisted in the efforts to develop immunocontraceptive protocols.[14] Along with Gursaran Talwar, he pioneered Hybridoma technology in India and has designed diagnostic kits for HIV-1 and HIV-2 infections, Group A streptococcal infection and pregnancy detection. His research has been documented by way of several articles[15][note 3] and his work has drawn many citations.[16][17][18] Besides, he has published two texts on Immunology titled Reproductive Immunology[19] and Immunology: Perspectives in Reproduction and Infection.[20]
Gupta sat in the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Indian Council of Medical Research in 2005[21] and headed the Expert Group on Reproductive Health and Biologyof the Department of Biotechnology in 2013.[22] He is a trustee of the Immunology Foundation,[23] a member of the Indian Immunology Society[24] and has been a member of the International Society for Immunology of Reproduction (1998–2004).[25] His associations with international medical conferences include the VII International Congress of Reproductive Immunology held in New Delhi in October 1998 where he served as the convenor.[26] He is a former member of the editorial boards of Reproductive Biomedicine Online, Journal of Reproductive Immunology and Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology[5] and sits in the editorial boards of Indian Journal of Experimental Biology[27] and Indian Journal of Medical Research.[28]
Awards and honors
[edit]Gupta received the Young Scientists Medal of the Indian National Science Academy in 1982[29] and the Shakuntala Amir Chand Prize of the Indian Council of Medical Research in 1984.[10] A decade later, he received the 1994 VASVIK Industrial Research Award.[30] The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research awarded him Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize, one of the highest Indian science awards in 1997.[31] He is also a recipient of the Population Control and Family Planning Award of Labhsetwar Foundation and the 2011 Ranbaxy Research Award.[10] The National Academy of Medical Sciences elected him as a fellow in 1994[32] followed by the Indian Academy of Sciences in 1997.[3] He became a fellow of the Indian National Science Academy in 2001[33] and the National Academy of Medical Sciences followed suit in 2005.[7] The Award orations delivered by him include Smt. Swaran Kanta Dingley Oration of the Indian Council of Medical Research (1995)[10] and Dr. Nitya Anand Endowment Lecture of Indian National Science Academy (2003).[34] He also held the Tata Innovation Fellowship and the J. C. Bose Fellowship of the Department of Biotechnology during various tenures.[6]
