Rajesh Sudhir Gokhale (born 1967) is an Indian chemical biologist who was the director of Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology. Gokhale is known for his studies on the metabolic diversity of pathogens.[1] He is credited with the discovery of a family of Long-chain Fatty acyl-AMP ligases (FAAL) and his studies assisted in the elucidation of biochemical crosstalk between fatty acid synthases and polyketide synthases in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.[2] He holds US and Indian patents for his invention of Method to Modulate Pigmentation Process in the Melanocytes of Skin.[3] An alumnus of the Indian Institute of Science,[4] he is an elected fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences (2007)[5] and the Indian National Science Academy (2014).[6] The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards, in 2006, for his contributions to biological sciences.[7] He received the National Bioscience Award for Career Development of the Department of Biotechnology in 2009.[8]
