==Education==
Mayor studied [[chemistry]] at the [[Indian Institute of Technology Bombay]] and was awarded his PhD in [[life sciences]] from [[The Rockefeller University]], New York. He worked as a post-doctoral fellow at [[Columbia University]], where he developed tools to study the trafficking of membrane lipids and GPI-anchored proteins in mammalian cells using quantitative [[fluorescence microscopy]].

==Research==
Mayor started his laboratory at NCBS in 1995 after the completion of his post-doctoral research at Columbia University.

"The broad aim of Prof Mayor’s laboratory is to provide an understanding of the molecular mechanisms of [[endocytosis]] in [[metazoan]] cells, and study this phenomenon at many scales. At the molecular scale his group wants to uncover the molecular players in endocytic processes; at the mesoscopic scale research in his laboratory attempts to provide a physical description of [[cell membrane]] structure and organization process and its material properties; at the cellular scale the work is aimed at synthesizing a role for endocytosis in [[cellular signalling]] and cell surface homeostasis; at the scale of the tissue the group wishes to determine how control of endocytosis impinges on many developmental programs in tissue morphogenesis (http://www.ncbs.res.in/mayor)."

Professor Mayor is the recipient of several national and international awards such as the Wellcome Trust International Senior Research Fellowship, Swarnajayanti Fellowship, Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award and the JC Bose Fellowship.
