Basak, after earning an M.Sc. from the Rajabazar Science College campus of University of Calcutta, did his doctoral research at the same institution under the guidance of Prof. Dhrubajyoti Chattopadhyay to secure a Ph.D.[2] His post-doctoral work was at the University of California, San Diego at the laboratory of Prof. Alexander Hoffmann. On his return to India, he joined the National Institute of Immunology where he heads a group of researchers.[1] He has published a number of research articles in peer-reviewed journals,[3][note 1] ResearchGate, an online repository of scientific articles has listed 52 of them.[4][5] The Department of Biotechnology of the Government of India awarded him the National Bioscience Award for Career Development, one of the highest Indian science awards, for his contributions to biosciences, in 2017/18.[6]

gollark: They would work as more reliable long-term investments.
gollark: That and firms.
gollark: And my idea for how the buying/selling would work is that you'd create a "sell order" if you wanted to sell it, and set a price, and your share would be sold as soon as anyone created a "buy order" with that price or a higher one.
gollark: The auctioning could be done with a Vickrey auction, which apparently "gives bidders an incentive to bid their true value", which seems like a good property.
gollark: My suggested way for it to work has always been having meme shares pay dividends (based on upvotes, maybe every hour or after a fixed time or something), giving the creator some of the shares, and selling the others to "the market" (maybe via some sort of short auction mechanism?), then just letting everyone trade them freely until they pay out.
