Dr. Kamal Ranadive: Google doodle honours Indian cell biologist on birth anniversary

Google Doodle today: Google on Monday dedicated a doodle to Indian cell biologist Dr. Kamal Ranadive to mark her 104th birth anniversary. Ranadive is best known for her groundbreaking cancer research and devotion to creating a more equitable society through science and education.

The doodle, illustrated by India-based artist Ibrahim Rayintakath, shows Dr. Ranadive looking at a microscope.

Kamal Samarath, better known as Kamal Ranadive, was born in 1917 in Pune, India. Her father encouraged her to pursue a medical education, but Ranadive found her calling in biology instead. In 1949, she received a doctorate in cytology, the study of cells, while working as a researcher in the Indian Cancer Research Center (ICRC). After a fellowship at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, she returned to Mumbai (then Bombay) and the ICRC, where she established the country’s first tissue culture laboratory.
