Reference excerpt

Dr R. K Kamboj (Rajender Kumar Kamboj) is an Indian Pharmaceutical scientist in the area of drug discovery. He was born in 1955 to Sh.Karta Ram Kamboj at Village Fatehpur, Yamunanagar district, Haryana.

Education He did his M.Sc. in Biological Sciences in 1977. He joined the University of Adelaide, Australia in 1981 and completed his Ph.D in March 1986. During his doctoral studies at the University of Adelaide (1981–1986), Kamboj published his researches in Plant Physiology. Kamboj's doctoral thesis was about Biochemical Studies on pollen and pollen-pistil interaction in `Petunia hybrida`.

Career After completing his Ph.D., Kamboj continued to work as research scientist in Australia till 1991. Thereafter, he moved to Canada to join Allelix Biopharmaceuticals Inc (a part of NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc, Toronto), as its Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer. At Allelix, Kamboj was entrusted with the primary responsibility of managing its drug discovery programs. After working about 12 years with Allelix, Kamboj joined Xenon Genetics Inc, Vancouver as its vice president for Drug Discovery. In both the companies named above, Kamboj was instrumental in taking the companies from the inception of the drug discovery group all the way to multiple licensing transactions and collaborations. Kamboj left Xenon Genetics Inc. in June 2008 to join Lupin Limited, a transnational pharmaceutical company from India, where he was appointed President of New Chemical Entity (NCE) Research of Lupin Limited. In the same year, Kamboj was also appointed president of the Novel Drug Discovery and Development of Lupin Limited. Kamboj's experience includes contributions to business development, licensing products and technologies, mergers and acquisitions and corporate development activities. He holds over forty (40) U.S. patent applications (filed and issued), covering the discovery and use of a number of human genes. He is the author/co-author of over 90 research articles/papers in the field of biomedical field. His career spans more than 29 years in research, 16 years of which is in pharmaceutical industrial R&D setting. Kamboj is currently a member of the working group on New TB Drugs Team, India. Kamboj is also a member of the Market Advisory Groups (MAG) of the Asia Pacific Trade Council of British Columbia, Canada.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with R. K. Kamboj

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what R. K. Kamboj claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to R. K. Kamboj before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about R. K. Kamboj ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of R. K. Kamboj

In research: R. K. Kamboj appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses R. K. Kamboj in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: R. K. Kamboj is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 20th-century Indian educational theorists, Living people, People from Yamunanagar district, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for R. K. Kamboj outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
