Prof. A. K. Mukhopadhyay, a medical graduate (1977) from the university of Calcutta and MD in Pathology (1981) from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, joined the Faculty of All India Institute of Medical Sciences in February, 1985. At present, he is the Head of the Department of Laboratory Medicine. The Department has seven Faculty positions, performs 6.5 millions of investigations per year, runs a three year residency program leading to MD degree and is involved in clinical research and Ph.D. programs.

Prof. Mukhopadhyay’s research interest is in developing a Science for Consciousness in which Classical mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Information mechanics, Causal mechanics (of information manifolds), and the mechanics of Consciousness could be connected within a nested organization of nature. Self, Life-principle, Mind and Information dwell within the nature of consciousness and the Five together constitute a Nonlocal Family. Splitting of information into form (space time) and energy by mind or mind-like structure and process in nature is suggested to be a link between science of locality (nests II & I) and science of nonlocal domain (nests IV & V) of nature.
