Dedicated to our teacher Prof. Madhu Sudan Kanungo (1927–2011) A world-class Indian Biochemist and Gerontologist who devoted his entire career of teaching and research to Biochemistry of Aging at the Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi, India for 49 years. After completing his Ph.D. under Prof. C.L. Prosser at the University of Illinois, USA, he joined the Department of Zoology, BHU in early 1960s and continued until the end. He was always actively involved in teaching and
research and developed an excellent teaching and research program of Animal Biochemistry and produced several Ph.D. students as next generation of teachers and scientists in many universities and institutes of India and abroad. He published 150 research papers and authored two books on aging: Biochemistry of Aging (Academic Press, 1980) and Genes and Aging (Cambridge University Press, 1994). He received numerous prestigious scientific recognitions for research (notably S.S. Bhatnagar Prize, Fellows of all the Indian Science Aca
