Bioanalysis Young Investigator: Narahara Chari Dingari

Abstract

Supervisor’s supporting comments

It gives me enormous pleasure to nominate Narahara Chari Dingari for the Bioanalysis Young Investigator 2011 award. Chari has been working with me since 2009 and we have worked together on numerous biomedical projects, including ones where he has put lots of effort into publishing new methods and findings in prestigious journals such as Analytical Chemistry, Journal of Biomedical Optics, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry and Biomedical Optics Express. I have found him to be very diligent with high academic interests and intellectual ability. Chari is a promising scientist motivated to work in multidisciplinary research areas and is quite capable of setting up his own team and carrying out independent research. Chari’s current work bears direct impact in the diagnosis of important diseases such as breast cancer and malaria as well as in noninvasive blood glucose detection. He has excellent communication skills and is highly motivated in his pursuit of an advanced career in biomedical optics, spectroscopy and bioanalysis. I have extremely high expectations for him in the future as he continues to grow as an independent research scientist and a team leader. His eventual goal is to join the faculty of a major university and build a high-impact research laboratory. I strongly recommend him without any reservations for this prestigious award.
