Born on 20 April 1953 at Chhachhrauli in the Indian state of Haryana to Gur Prasad Gupta and Satya Rani, S. K. Gupta did his early college studies at the University of Delhi from where he earned his graduate degree (BSc). [5] Moving to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi, he completed his master's degree and started his career as a research officer at National Institute of Immunology, India which had only been established the previous year. [9] During this period, he pursued his doctoral studies simultaneously at AIIMS and secured a PhD in 1983. [10] At NII, he held various posts including that of the head of Gamete Antigen Laboratory and after superannuation, he serves as an emeritus scientist at the institution. [11] In between, he served as a visiting faculty at several institutions abroad; Johns Hopkins University, Pasteur Institute, Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Wayne State University, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Hyogo College of Medicine featuring among them. [5] He has also served as the principal investigator in a number of projects undertaken by the National Institute of Immunology. [12] [13]

Gupta is married to Rita and the couple has two sons, Ashish (married to Nidhi, blessed with 2 sons named Tanish and Aadish) and Manish (married to Ankita, blessed with a daughter named Anaisha. The family lives in Gurgaon. [4]

Career

Gupta's research covered the field of reproductive biology and he is known to have made studies on the effect of human hormones viz. Human chorionic gonadotropin and Gonadotropin-releasing hormone on reproductive functions. [5] The team led by him has carried out elaborate investigations on Zona pellucida, a layer of glycoprotein enveloping the plasma membrane of mammalian oocytes [10] and these studies have assisted in the efforts to develop immunocontraceptive protocols. [14] Along with Gursaran Talwar, he pioneered Hybridoma technology in India and has designed diagnostic kits for HIV-1 and HIV-2 infections, Group A streptococcal infection and pregnancy detection. His research has been documented by way of several articles [15] [note 3] and his work has drawn many citations. [16] [17] [18] Besides, he has published two texts on Immunology titled Reproductive Immunology [19] and Immunology: Perspectives in Reproduction and Infection. [20]

Gupta sat in the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Indian Council of Medical Research in 2005 [21] and headed the Expert Group on Reproductive Health and Biologyof the Department of Biotechnology in 2013. [22] He is a trustee of the Immunology Foundation, [23] a member of the Indian Immunology Society [24] and has been a member of the International Society for Immunology of Reproduction (1998–2004). [25] His associations with international medical conferences include the VII International Congress of Reproductive Immunology held in New Delhi in October 1998 where he served as the convenor. [26] He is a former member of the editorial boards of Reproductive Biomedicine Online, Journal of Reproductive Immunology and Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology [5] and sits in the editorial boards of Indian Journal of Experimental Biology [27] and Indian Journal of Medical Research .
