'''ఇందిరా నాథ్''' (Indira Nath) సుప్రసిద్ధ భారతీయ [[శాస్త్రవేత్త]]. [[లెప్రసీ]] మీద ఈమె చేసిన పరిశోధనలు ప్రపంచ ప్రసిద్ధమైనవి. దీనికి గాను 2002 సంవత్సరంలో ఈమెకు "ఎల్ ఓరియల్ యునెస్కో 2002 మహిళా శాస్త్రవేత్త అవార్డు"ను తెచ్చిపెట్టింది. వ్యాధి నిరోధక శాస్త్రంలో ఈమె జరిపిన కృషికి గాను భారత ప్రభుత్వం 1999 సంవత్సరంలో [[పద్మశ్రీ పురస్కారం]] ఇచ్చి సత్కరించినది. ఈమె ప్రస్తుతం అఖిల భారతీయ వైద్య విజ్ఞాన సంస్థలోని బయోటెక్నాలజీ విభాగానికి అధిపతిగా చిరకాలంగా పనిచేస్తున్నారు. ఈ
ప్రొఫెసర్ నాథ్ లెప్రసీ మీదనే కాకుండా మానవులలో వ్యాధి నిరోధక ప్రక్రియ మీద జరిపిన పరిశోధనలు వైద్యంలోను, కొత్తగా వ్యాధులగురించి చేసే పరీక్షలు అభివృద్ధి చేయడానికి ఉపకరిస్తాయి.
ఈమెకు మరుగుజ్జు వృక్షాలు అన్నా, ఈతకొట్టడం చాలా ఇష్టం.
The eldest daughter of a CPWD engineer, Prof. Nath's discovery constitutes a significant step towards the development of treatment and vaccines for leprosy. At present, this 60-year-old is Head of the Department of Biotechnology at All India Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Professor at the S.N. Bose Centre.
Having placed India on the world map with her path breaking research, Prof. Nath has now given the people another reason to cheer. This past Thursday, she became the first Indian to be awarded the L'Oreal-UNESCO 2002 award for ``Women in Science -- Asia/Pacific Region''. She was chosen from among 100 candidates recommended by over 800 internationally renowned scientists.
But her winning came as a surprise to few. ``Unlike most people, I have never had a dilemma about what to do in life. When I was ten, I decided that I wanted to become a doctor, by second year medical college, I was sure I wanted to specialize in pathology, and later I was clear I wanted to do research,'' she says.
The clear thought process continued even when she decided to get married to a classmate. ``My parents were aghast. He was a North Indian. But all the resistance aside we got married right after our internship and then decided to go abroad. But both of us were clear we wanted to return to India,'' says Prof. Nath.
``And we had reasons for wanting to come back. Both of us had studied in an environment where we were encouraged to look beyond studying from western books. We were attuned to asking question, to look for reasons and were aware that we had a social responsibility.''
Later when she returned to India in the early 1980s, immunology was still in its infancy and Prof. Nath got actively involved in developing an immunology workshop at AIIMS under the aegis of World Health Organisation and the Indian Council of Medical Research for the South-East Region.
She also went on to develop the first department in India at AIIMS in 1986 with a view to train biomedical personnel in immunology, molecular biology and modern biology aspect. But Prof. Nath had to pay a heavy price for walking the untread path. ``I became the longest serving professor at AIIMS, routine promotions never seemed to reach me. It wasn't like anyone was trying to pull me down or something, the administrative system was such,'' she says.
She later found the same apathy in the government health policies. ``The Indian government hasn't made use of the research work being done in-house, we rather have western expertise,'' she rues. But what worries Prof. Nath is the state of research in the country today. ``We are just moving from epidemic to epidemic. Doctors today are not keen to do research work, they are rusting their learning skills.''
