Vinay Kumar Nandicoori (born 1 March 1969) is an Indian immunologist, biotechnologist and currently the director of Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, India. He is known for his studies on the kinase-mediated signaling networks in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative pathogen of tuberculosis.[1] Holder of a master's degree in biotechnology from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay and a PhD from the Indian Institute of Science, Nandicoori did his post doctoral work the University of Virginia and Texas A & M University.[2]

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 2010.[3] He is also a member of Guha Research Conference, an elected fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, India[4] and a recipient of the NASI-Scopus Young Scientist Award, which he received in 2009.[5]
