Bio
Thomas Haines
I have known Ruchi Gupta since 2008 when she first arrived at the Sakmar lab with which I am affiliated for a number of years. She came from Dan Raleigh's Lab at Stony Brook bringing with her a problem she initiated at the Raleigh lab. This was rather different than what was going on at the Sakmar lab. However she was able to pick up and in many creative ways take advantage of the facilities at Rockefeller to develop the work in a productive way. This by itself was unusual because The Sakmar lab was primarily focused on GPCR signaling whereas the Raleigh lab was focused on protein folding of amyloid fibrils. Although the Biology was rather distal to the work in the Sakmar group she managed to interest others in joining into the work. Her novel approaches and ideas paid off repeatedly resulting in the preparation of four papers and 2 patents, one published and the other under review. Much of this work results from original ideas Ruchi has brought to the table. During the time I have known her in the laboratory I have watched the force she brings to her work blossom. In the weekly group seminars she adds insight into lab member’s work and is, on her own work very self-critical. She has shown broad knowledge of the use of techniques in the laboratory. She has been a leader in the group. She is reflective, thoughtful, considerate and generally creates a pleasant and productive atmosphere in the laboratory. Ruchi's ideas come out in her questions during the weekly meetings. She delivers a well-thought-out seminar that is a pleasure to hear.

I know Dr. Ruchi Gupta because she is one of the primary users of the Electron Microscopy Resource Center of the Rockefeller University where I work as the director. I got to know Dr. Gupta shortly after I accepted this position and moved into the University in the fall of 2008. Since then we have consistent interaction as a colleague and a friend. I learned that her strong interested in fields of science and sincere wish to make a contribution to society. The list of her accomplishments at this point, including publications and patents, is an indication of her critical and innovative thinking and excellent flexibility but with an indomitable spirit. She works really hard for herself and for her colleagues. In addition she is open to others’ opinions as well and listens carefully and patiently to what others have to say. I feel that this is an excellent quality of leadership and it was well exemplified in her presidency of post-doc association in the Rockefeller University more than 2 years to date. After all Dr. Gupta is very amicable, cooperative, self confidence and inspiring. I am very positive that she would fit in to any environment provided and figure out quickly best possible roles that she ought to play in the particular setting. I can highly recommend Dr. Gupta for the best possible scientific position available, either in an academic or industrials institution.
