Ramaswamy Subramanian has been by the Electron Microscope Society of India. Dasgupta was a pioneering biophysicist who helped construct Asia’s first electron microscope. This award is the highest honor given by EMSI and recognizes Subramanian’s contributions to advancing electron microscopy and global access to cutting-edge scientific tools. His vision and advocacy helped position India as an early leader in cryogenic electron microscopy, establishing one of the country’s first centers and laying the groundwork for a nationwide network of advanced imaging facilities.

Subramanian is a professor of biological sciences and biomedical engineering at Purdue University. studies how certain bacteria evade the immune system by stealing and displaying sugar molecules that mimic human cells, leading to an industry collaboration to understand the molecular basis of promising drug candidates in clinical trials.

“This award means a lot because it’s not just about research and accomplishments,” Subramanian, who delivered the keynote lecture at the International Conference on Electron Microscopy in Bangalore, India, said in a . “It also acknowledges the work of building institutions and creating opportunities for others. That global impact is deeply meaningful to me.”
