Eloy Rodriguez (born January 7,1947 [1] ) is an American biochemist. He is the James Perkins Professor of Environmental Studies at Cornell University. He was born in Edinburg,Texas. [2]
Collaborating with primatologist Richard Wrangham,Rodriguez introduced the concept of zoopharmacognosy. [3]
Rodriguez graduated from the University of Texas,Austin with a B.S. in 1969 and a Ph.D. in phytochemistry and plant biology in 1975. [4] Later,at the University of British Columbia,he received medical postdoctoral training in medicinal botany. [2] He was an assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of California,Irvine from 1976 to 1994 [4] before joining the faculty at Cornell.
Rodriguez,who is Mexican-American,also serves as a faculty advisor for the Science Organization of Latinos at Cornell. [5]
Rodriguez is the director of the Cornell University Esbaran Amazon Field Laboratory located in the Amazon rainforest near Iquitos,Peru.
Rodriguez is the founder of the California Alliance for Minority Participation (CAMP) program funded by the National Science Foundation. As a result,the CAMP program spread from its home campus,University of California at Irvine,to the 9 other branches of the University of California.

Roop Mallik is an Indian biophysicist who works on nanoscale molecular motor proteins that transport material such as viruses, mitochondria, endosomes etc. inside living cells. The motors, such as kinesin and dynein generate forces of pico-newton order to carry our various cellular processes namely cell division, vesicular transport, endocytosis, molecular tethering etc. His lab is working to understand how motor proteins help in degradation and clearance of pathogens, and also how these motors work inside the liver to maintain systemic lipid homeostasis in the animal. Mallik is currently a professor at the Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.
