Vineet Kosaraju has been selected as a 2015 Davidson Fellow

The Davidson Institute of Talent Development has announced the 2015 Davidson Fellows. Among the honorees is 16-year-old Vineet Kosaraju of Saratoga, Calif. Vineet won a $10,000 Davidson Fellows Scholarship for his project, Towards Rational RNA Therapeutics: 3D RNA Engineering in a Massive Open Laboratory. He is one of only 20 students from across the country to receive this honor.

Vineet’s project focused on RNA, which is found everywhere in life from humans to bacteria. This molecule is relevant to current research not only because it is so prevalent in life, but also because it can be used to fight disease such as vision degeneration, create RNA vaccines, destroy viral genes, and combat cancer. However, it is being underutilized because trial and error is currently the method of choice to find new RNA therapeutics. Vineet created an interface that allows for the design of accurate 3D RNA molecules. “My project focuses on fixing the limitations of 2D RNA structuring by creating an interface to design 3D RNAs and discovering its folding rules so that scientists can design RNAs without using expensive trial and error processes,” Vineet said. “By analyzing RNA designs synthesized in vitro, I was able to create three rules that govern the stability of the tertiary structure, the first of their kind.”

Vineet is a rising senior at The Harker School in San Jose, Calif. Apart from learning from the advanced coursework at his high school, he enjoys his Stanford lab work, and volunteering and teaching at MathAndCoding, a non-profit he co-founded. Vineet hopes to attend a college that has, among numerous academic and extracurricular offerings, a strong computer science curriculum with an undergraduate research program.

Vineet serves on his local congresswoman’s student advisory board, and participates in his school’s Honor Council and Research Club. In 2014, he was a Siemens Competition regional finalist and has participated in the USA Computing Olympiad Gold Division for the past couple of years. When he is not busy with school and research, Vineet enjoys hanging out with friends and family, playing the piano, and enjoying a round of golf with his brother.

A road named after Veerasamy Naidu in Singapore

Veerasamy Road - Little India/ Singapore Veerasamy Road was renamed twice in its history; it was originally called Inche Lane, and was renamed Jalan Tambah in 1910. In 1927, the road was renamed again as Veerasamy Road, in honour of Dr N. Veerasamy Naidu (1865-1926), one of Singapore’s first Indian doctors and a leader in the local Indian community. Dr N Veerasamy Naidu was born in 1864. He was the son of Narayanasamy Naidu and Ramanuja Ammal. He learned Tamil from the age of four from his grandfather, Kuppusamy Naidu. He studied English at the Raffles School in Singapore and first worked at the lawyer’s office of Mr Cook. Unsatisfied in his job and drawn to the study of medicinal herbs, he decided to pursue an education in medical science and eventually worked in a hospital owned by Govindasamy Naidu. He set up his own clinic called Indian Dispensary in Rochor Road and derived effective scientific and traditional treatments for a variety of new diseases. He was the Presid...

G.K. Devarajulu The textile city Architect of Coimbatore

The brothers who contributed substantially to the industrialisation of Coimbatore are G.K. Devarajulu and G.K. Sundaram . The sons of cotton merchant G.Kuppusamy Naidu, who also had a ginning unit, both evinced immense capability. Devarajulu, born in 1911, was a man with appetite for risks. He set up the Lakshmi Mills at the age of just 21. As the machinery for the cotton units were imported from Europe under the impression that those from Japan were substandard, Devarajulu visited the factory in Japan to study whether the machinery would suit Indian requirements. Consequently all the machinery for his unit were imported from Japan. He also introduced the administrative system he found good in Japanese units. When Devarajulu and Mr. Sundaram joined Textool as shareholders in 1940, the company produced its first ring frame. Devarajulu joined hands with R.Venkataswamy Naidu of Peelamedu to set up the South India Viscose for which he imported m...
