Sudha Bhattacharya (born 7 March 1952) is an Indian academic, scientist and a writer. She is recognized primarily for her in-depth study of Entamoeba histolytica, a parasitic protozoan that causes amoebiasis: Dr. Bhattacharya's laboratory first detected Ribosomal RNA genes on Circular DNA, while studying the parasite, and also discovered families of retrotransposons in the parasite genome.[1] Her work has primarily been in the fields of Molecular Parasitology and Gene Regulation.
Bhattacharya is a professor at the School of Environmental Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). She is a fellow at The National Academy of Sciences, India,[2]Indian Academy of Sciences and Indian National Science Academy (2014).[3]

Education and career
Having graduated in Botany from the University of Delhi, Bhattacharya studied Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute. She completed her post-graduation in 1973 and then, in 1977, earned a Ph. D. for research on regulation of RNA synthesis in Escherichia coli. She has conducted post-doctoral research on bacteriophage genetics at Stanford University (1977-79), bacterial DNA replication at the Boston Biomedical Research Institute (1979-1981) and studied axenic cultivation at the National Institutes of Health (1985-86).
Prior to joining the JNU, Bhattacharya has worked at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences and the Tata Research Development and Design Centre. She joined JNU in 1986 as an Assistant Professor. At JNU, she has served as Dean of the School of Environmental Sciences (2010–12).[1] She has also served on the academic committee of various boards affiliated to JNU. [1] In her attempt towards recognising environmentalists who rely on traditional knowledge, she found Jadhav Payeng from Assam who converted 1,00 acres of dense land into a forest for rhinos and elephants. [4]
In 2007, she published her book titled "Identification and functional characterisation of a novel lysine-rich protein from Entamoeba histolytica", co-authored with Alka Mehra and Alok Bhattacharya. [5]
