Biography
Sanjeev Galande, born on 20 September 1967 in Pune, in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, did his master's degree in biochemistry (MSc) at the Savitribai Phule Pune University{{cite web | url=https://sumangovil.wordpress.com/2015/08/12/message-from-dr-sanjeev-galande-highly-decorated-scientist-and-ex-alumnus-of-m-sc-biotechnology-from-university-of-pune/ | title=Message from Dr. Sanjeev Galande, highly decorated scientist and ex-alumnus of M.Sc. Biotechnology from University of Pune | publisher=Opportunities and Concerns in Biotechnology | date=12 August 2015 | access-date=31 October 2016}} before obtaining his doctoral studies from the Indian Institute of Science in 1996.{{cite web | url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune/Scientist-Sanjeev-Galande-selected-for-GD-Birla-Award/articleshow/47949930.cms?gclid=CMO8rp2DgtACFUoWaAodp8kIrQ | title=Scientist Sanjeev Galande selected for GD Birla Award | work=The Hindu | date=15 July 2015 | access-date=31 October 2016}} He moved to the US the same year to join the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to complete his postdoctoral studies on the role of MAR-binding proteins in tumorigenesis in 2001 and on his return to India, he joined National Centre for Cell Science (NCCS) as a senior scientist.{{cite web | url=http://sanjeevgalande.wixsite.com/sglab-coee/members | title=SG Lab Members | publisher=SG Lab | date=2016 | access-date=1 November 2016}} He headed the Sanjeev Galande Laboratory at the NCCS till 2010 when he shifted to the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune as a professor{{cite web | url=http://www.iiserpune.ac.in/people/faculty-details/21 | title=Faculty Details | publisher=Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune | date=2016 | access-date=1 November 2016}} and established the Centre of Excellence in Epigenetics (CoEE) there.{{cite web | url=http://www.iiserpune.ac.in/~coee/wiki/index.php/Sanjeev_Galande | title=Sanjeev Galande on CoEE | publisher=CoEE - IISER Pune | date=2016 | access-date=1 November 2016}} He heads the Laboratory of Chromatin Biology and Epigenetics where he hosts a number of researchers who focus their studies on evolution of epigenetic mechanisms using multiple model systems.{{cite web | url=http://sanjeevgalande.wixsite.com/sglab-coee | title=Laboratory of Chromatin Biology and Epigenetics | publisher=Laboratory of Chromatin Biology and Epigenetics | date=2016 | access-date=1 November 2016}} He also serves as an adjunct faculty at Savitribai Phule Pune University.{{cite web | url=http://www.unipune.ac.in/dept/science/Biotechnology/Biotechnology_webfiles/faculty.htm | title=Adjunct Faculty | publisher=Savitribai Phule Pune University | date=2016 | access-date=1 November 2016}}
Legacy
Galande's early researches during his doctoral studies were on MAR-binding proteins and carcinogenesis but later he shifted his focus to cell-type specific patterns of gene expression and how chromatin levels influence them which was the theme of his research at NCCS. His team demonstrated how cellular signaling pathways impact the chromatin levels. After his move to IISER, Pune, he started working on epigenetic regulation on various substrata viz. yeast, Caenorhabditis elegans (round worm), Drosophila (fruit flies), Zebrafish and humans, using them as biological model systems. His team investigate biological processes such as transcription, gene regulation, cell proliferation, self-renewal and regeneration and their interrelations for which they employ genetic, biochemical, molecular and computational approaches. His studies are reported to have assisted in widening our understanding of the development and differentiation of T cells and the impact of Wnt signaling pathways in the process.{{cite web | url=http://www.csirhrdg.res.in/ssb.pdf | title=Handbook of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize Winners | publisher=Council of Scientific and Industrial Research | date=1999 | access-date=5 October 2016 | pages=34}} He is involved in three running projects; Intergenerational programming of diabesity in offspring of women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (InDiaGDM), Role of chromatin organizer SATB1 in T cell development and differentiation and The role of Chromatin reorganisers in X inactivation.{{cite web | url=https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sanjeev_Galande | title=Projects | date=2016 | access-date=1 November 2016}}
