Thavamani Jegajothivel Pandian, born on 15 June 1939 in [[Palamedu]], a small town in [[Madurai district]] of the [[South India]]n state of [[Tamil Nadu]] to Kumarasamy Thavamani and Valliammal couple, graduated in science from [[Thiagarajar College]], [[Madurai]] in 1960 and completed his master's degree from [[Presidency College, Chennai]] in 1962, both the colleges affiliated to [[Madras University]], before securing a doctoral degree (PhD) in 1965 from the same university.<ref name="Fellow profile - National Academy of Agricultural Sciences">{{cite web | url=http://naasindia.org/detail.php?id=329 | title=Fellow profile - National Academy of Agricultural Sciences | publisher=National Academy of Agricultural Sciences | date=2016 | access-date=30 September 2016}}</ref> His post-doctoral studies were at Bilogische Anstalt, Helgoland, Germany and he obtained the degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences ([[Dr. rer. nat.]]) from [[Kiel University]] in 1968. Returning to India, he started his career at [[Bangalore University]] as a lecturer in 1968 and moved to his home town in 1971 to join [[Madurai Kamaraj University]] as a reader where he served till his superannuation, holding positions of a professor (1976–92) and a senior professor (1994–95).<ref name="Indian Fellow - Pandian">{{cite web | url=http://insaindia.res.in/detail.php?id=N87-0972 | title=Indian Fellow - Pandian | publisher=Indian National Science Academy | date=2016 | access-date=30 September 2016}}</ref> In between, he served as a visiting scientist at [[Oxford University]] (1973), as a visiting professor at [[Columbia University]] and [[University of South Carolina]] (1981–82), as an overseas associate at [[Kyoto University]] (1989) and as a UNESCO lecturer at [[Ghent University]] (2003–04). Post his superannuation, he held the position of a National Professor of the [[Indian Council of Agricultural Research]] from 1996 to 2002, an Emeritus Scientist of the [[Council of Scientific and Industrial Research]] from 2002 to 2005 and an [[Indian National Science Academy|INSA]] senior scientist from 2005 to 2009.{{Refn|group=note|Based at [[Annamalai University]]}} He has chaired the ''Task Force Committee on Aqua and Marine Biotechnology'' of the [[Department of Biotechnology]]<ref name="List of Members Task Force Committee" /> and is associated with Ecology Institute, Germany as a visiting scientist since 1985 and with [[MS Swaminathan Research Foundation]] as a visiting professor since 1996.<ref name="Indian Fellow - Pandian" /> He also served the councils of the Indian National Science Academy in 1990 and National Academy of Agricultural Sciences from 1998 to 2000.<ref name="Fellow profile - National Academy of Agricultural Sciences" />

Pandian's early work was in the field of [[bioenergetics]] and focusing on metabolism, he developed a model for predicting the transformation of food energy into growth.<ref name="Handbook of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize Winners">{{cite web | url=http://www.csirhrdg.res.in/ssb.pdf | title=Handbook of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize Winners | publisher=Council of Scientific and Industrial Research | date=1999 | access-date=28 September 2016 | pages=33}}</ref> He published his research findings in ''Marine Biology'' journal of [[Springer Science+Business Media|Springer]] in an article, ''Intake, digestion, absorption and conversion of food in the fishes Megalops cyprinoides and Ophiocephalus striatus'', which eventually became a citation classic.<ref name="Intake, digestion, absorption and conversion of food in the fishes Megalops cyprinoides and Ophiocephalus striatus">{{cite journal | url=http://garfield.library.upenn.edu/classics1983/A1983RK20200001.pdf | title=Intake, digestion, absorption and conversion of food in the fishes Megalops cyprinoides and Ophiocephalus striatus | author=Pandian T.

Furthering the researches, he created ''supermales'' (with YY chromosomes) of [[tilapia]], [[Barb (fish)|barbs]] and [[guppy|guppies]] (Poecilia reticulata) and ''superfemales'' (ZZ) in molly ([[Poecilia sphenops]]) species, reportedly for the first time in India.<ref name="T J Pandian on National Institute of Oceanography" /> He used these monosex organisms to mass-produce monosex progenies in catfish.
