Dr Vinod Scaria FRSB, FRSPH (born 9 March 1981) is an Indian biologist, medical researcher pioneering in Precision Medicine and Clinical Genomics in India. He is best known for sequencing the first Indian genome.[1][2][3] He was also instrumental in the sequencing of The first Sri Lankan Genome, analysis of the first Malaysian Genome[4] sequencing and analysis of the Wild-type strain of Zebrafish[5] and the IndiGen programme on Genomics for Public Health in India.[6][7][8]
He is presently a senior consultant to Vishwanath Cancer Care Foundation, an Adjunct Professor at the IIT Kanpur.[9] He was previously a senior scientist at CSIR Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology and an adjunct faculty at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi.[10]
He along with his colleague and collaborator Sridhar Sivasuubu are widely regarded as the pioneers in the area of clinical genomics in India. They are also the co-founders of the Genomics for Understanding Rare Diseases India Alliance Network (GUaRDIAN) a large clinical network working in the area of Rare Disease Genomics in India. They were also instrumental in setting up a comprehensive fellowship programme in genomics for clinicians[11]
His research has also contributed to a number of commercially viable technologies for healthcare and public health applications.[12] This includes one of the methods for fast and accurate diagnosis and screening of mitochondrial genetic diseases.[13]
