Abstract
I am deeply indebted to Association of Gerontology of India (AGI) for nominating me to Prof. M. S. Kanungo Oration Award Lecture during 17th AGI Meeting at Trivandrum. It is my proud privilege to deliver this lecture in the honour of such an illustrious teacher and a great mentor to many of his students including me. Late Prof. M. S. Kanungo was the first who started pioneering research in the area of Biochemistry of aging in our country during early 1960s and continued to do so till the last breath of his life when we lost him on 26th July 2011 at the age of 84 years. His extraordinary commitment and dedication to the aging research is also exhibited by the fact that he still had couple of Ph.D. students to submit their thesis. I profoundly feel honoured in having got this opportunity to deliver oration lecture in his memory.
