== Education and career==
Sudha Bhattacharya attended [[University of Delhi]] where she graduated with a BSc.(Hons) degree in Botony in the year 1971 and then proceeded to the [[Indian Agricultural Research Institute]], [[New Delhi]] where she obtained her MSc. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. She completed her post-graduation in 1973 and then, in 1977, earned a Ph. D. for research on regulation of [[RNA#Synthesis|RNA synthesis]] in [[Escherichia coli]]. She has conducted post-doctoral research on [[bacteriophage]] genetics at [[Stanford University]] (1977–79), [[DNA replication#Bacteria|bacterial DNA replication]] at the [[Boston Biomedical Research Institute]] (1979-1981) and studied [[Axenic|axenic cultivation]] at the [[National Institutes of Health]] (1985–86).<ref name="jnufclty" />

Prior to joining the [[Jawaharlal Nehru University]], Bhattacharya has worked at the [[All India Institute of Medical Sciences]] as a research officer from 1981–82 and at the [[Tata Research Development and Design Centre]] as a [[scientist]] from 1982-85 to research on DNA-based diagnostic methods for common diseases. She joined JNU in 1986 as an [[Assistant professor|Assistant Professor]] and set up her lab to study ''[[E. histolytica]].'' She has also served on the academic committee of various boards affiliated to JNU.<ref name="insa" /> In her attempt towards recognising environmentalists who rely on traditional knowledge, she found [[Jadav Payeng|Jadhav Payeng]] from [[Assam]] who converted 1,00 acres of dense land into a forest for rhinos and elephants.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.terisas.ac.in/index.php?option=com_faculty&task=aboutcv&fid=0483|title=Faculty - Sudha Bhattacharya|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=}}</ref>

== Academic and Research Achievements ==
Dr. Bhattacharya received global acclaim for her novel findings in the field of simple [[molecular biology]] of [[E. histolytica|E. Histolytica]]. Her lab found the existence of [[ribosomal RNA]] genes on round [[DNA]], and located families of [[retrotransposon]]s inside the parasite genome. Study on the replication of [[RDNA (microarchitecture)|rDNA]] established the existence of replication origins inside the rDNA circle, which were differentially used in response to growth strain. Expression evaluation of rRNA and r-proteins discovered the post-transcriptional regulation of ribosomal [[biogenesis]]. Her work on [[retrotransposon]]s confirmed that retrotransposition is observed by means of excessive frequency recombination- which could contribute to series polymorphism determined in retrotransposons. Her lab also applied the widespread insertion site polymorphism of retrotransposons to broaden a way for pressure typing of E. Histolytica clinical isolates.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.jnu.ac.in/Faculty/sbhattacharya/|title=Prof.Sudha Bhattacharya|website=www.jnu.ac.in|access-date=2019-12-08}}</ref>
