'''Birendra Nath Mallick''' (born 1 August 1956) is an Indian [[neurobiologist]] and a professor of neurobiology at the School of Life Sciences of [[Jawaharlal Nehru University]]. Known for his research on the [[Neuroscience of sleep]], Mallick has authored and edited articles and texts on the subject, which included the first monograph on [[REM Sleep]]. He is a J. C. Bose National Fellow of the [[Department of Biotechnology]] and an elected fellow of all the three major Indian science academies viz. [[National Academy of Sciences, India]], [[Indian Academy of Sciences]], and [[Indian National Science Academy]].

The [[Council of Scientific and Industrial Research]], the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the [[Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology]], one of the highest Indian science awards for his contributions to Medical Sciences in 2001.<ref name="View Bhatnagar Awardees">{{cite web | url=http://ssbprize.gov.in/Content/AwardeeList.aspx | title=View Bhatnagar Awardees | publisher=Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize | date=2016 | access-date=12 November 2016}}</ref>{{Refn|group=note|Long link - please select award year to see details}}

[[File:Bnm-wiki-edited.jpg|thumb|325x325px|BIRENDRA NATH MALLICK]]
B. N. Mallick, born on 1 August 1956 at [[Jamalpur, Bardhaman|Jamalpur]], a small village in the Indian state of [[West Bengal|Bihar]] to Manju Mukherjee and Baidya Nath Mallick. He received his BSc hons at the [[University of Calcutta]] in 1978 winning B. K. S. Medal for standing first in [[City College, Kolkata]] and earned a master's degree in physiology in 1981 with a University Gold Medal for securing the first rank in the university.<ref name="Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Laboratory">{{Cite web |url=http://insaindia.res.in/detail/P05-1392 |title=Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Laboratory |date=2017 |publisher=Jawaharlal Nehru University |access-date=23 October 2017 |archive-date=27 February 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200227094150/http://insaindia.res.in/detail/P05-1392 |url-status=dead }}</ref> While pursuing his master's studies, he simultaneously did a medical course at [[Pratap Chandra Memorial Homoeopathic Hospital & College|Calcutta Homoeopathic Medical College]] and obtained a degree in homeopathic medicine (DMS) from the [[Central Council of Homoeopathy]].<ref name="Indian fellow">{{Cite web |url=http://insaindia.res.in/disp.php |title=Indian fellow |date=2017 |publisher=Indian National Science Academy}}</ref>{{Refn|group=note|Long link - please click M and select BN Mallick to see details}} Subsequently, he moved to Delhi for his doctoral studies, and joined the [[All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi]] as a teaching fellow in 1981. By the time he secured a PhD for his thesis on neurophysiology of sleep-wakefulness in 1986 from AIIMS, he had already worked there as a senior demonstrator during 1983–86. He moved to [[Jawaharlal Nehru University]] (JNU) in 1986 as an assistant professor at the School of Life Sciences and, moved up the ranks to the position of professor.<ref name="Faculty Profile">{{Cite web |url=http://www.jnu.ac.in/FacultyStaff/ShowProfile.asp?SendUserName=bnmallick |title=Faculty Profile |date=2017 |publisher=Jawaharlal Nehru University |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170127023858/http://www.jnu.ac.in/FacultyStaff/ShowProfile.asp?SendUserName=bnmallick |archive-date=2017-01-27 }}</ref><ref name="Faculty List">{{Cite web |url=http://www.jnu.ac.in/FacultyStaff/ShowProfile.asp?SendUserName=bnmallick |title=Faculty List |date=2017 |publisher=Jawaharlal Nehru University |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170127023858/http://www.jnu.ac.in/FacultyStaff/ShowProfile.asp?SendUserName=bnmallick |archive-date=2017-01-27 }}</ref> He also heads the Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Laboratory, where he hosts a number of scholars and research students.<ref name="Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Laboratory - Lab details">{{Cite web |url=http://www.jnu.ac.in/Faculty/bnmallick/ |title=Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Laboratory - Lab details |date=2017 |publisher=Jawaharlal Nehru University}}</ref> In between, he had five sabbaticals; as a research associate (1987–88) and as a visiting associate professor (March–July 1995 and March–July 1997) at [[University of California, Los Angeles]], as a visiting assistant professor at [[Harvard Medical School]] (March–July 1993) and at [[University of Nice Sophia Antipolis]] as a guest professor (November–December 2002).

Mallick is married to Roma Banerjee and the couple has two children.

[[File:REM - Rapid eye movement sleep of a dog.webm|thumb|Rapid eye movement of a dog]]
Mallick carried his doctoral research on sleep and wakefulness on to his later career and worked on the neural mechanisms involved with sleep.<ref name="Brief Profile of the Awardee">{{Cite web |url=http://ssbprize.gov.in/content/Detail.aspx?AID=176 |title=Brief Profile of the Awardee |date=2017 |publisher=Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize}}</ref> His studies combined the electrophysiological and biochemical aspects of [[rapid eye movement sleep]] (REM sleep)<ref name="Handbook of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize Winners">{{cite web | url=http://www.csirhrdg.res.in/ssb.pdf | title=Handbook of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize Winners | publisher=Council of Scientific and Industrial Research | page=71 | date=1999 | access-date=25 March 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304043957/http://www.csirhrdg.res.in/ssb.pdf | archive-date=4 March 2016 | url-status=dead }}</ref> and he established that the increased production of [[noradrenaline]] activated neuronal [[Na+/K+-ATPase]], triggering REM sleep-loss and resultant brain excitability.<ref name="Indian fellow" /> According to him, REM sleep maintains brain excitability and suggested that this unique phase of sleep could be regulated by ceasing REM-off neurons present in the [[locus coeruleus]]; his research has been documented by way of texts and articles<ref name="Browse by Fellow">{{Cite web |url=http://repository.ias.ac.in/view/fellows/Mallick=3ABirendra_Nath=3A=3A.html |title=Browse by Fellow |date=2017 |publisher=Indian Academy of Sciences}}</ref>{{Refn|group=note|Please see ''Selected bibliography'' section}} and [[ResearchGate]], an online repository of scientific articles have listed 108 of them.<ref name="On ResearchGate">{{Cite web |url=https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Birendra_Mallick |title=On ResearchGate |date=2017 }}</ref> Besides, he has published four books viz.
