Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, who won the 2009 Nobel Prize for Chemistry along with Ada Yonath and Thomas Steitz for his work on elucidating the high-resolution structure of the 30S ribosome, recently visited the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, where he has been a G. N. Ramachandran Professor
since 2006. On 5 January 2009, Ramakrishnan delivered the IISc Centenary Lecture alluringly entitled ‘From
Baroda to Cambridge – a life in science’. The talk, at the J. N. Tata Auditorium, began on an autobiographical note; he traced his journey from the Convent of Jesus and Mary Girls High School, Baroda, to the MRC Laboratory for Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK, wherehe is currently working. The following is
from a conversation with the Nobel laureate, at the IISc guest house.
