Colonel Rangachari Award in 2010
Dr. Shome has also won the extremely acclaimed Colonel Rangachari Award & the Hanumantha Reddy Award at the annual meeting of the All India Ophthalmological Society Conference in 2010, for his far-reaching invention and paper on a nano-molecule of carboplatin (a cancer drug), that vows to alter the way facial, neural & eye cancers are treated.
Prof. Dr. Debraj Shome is also one of the creators of the revolutionary QR678® hair growth molecule.

The Colonel Rangachari Gold Medal is one of the rarest distinctions at the AIOS conference, awarded only once in a lifetime to any individual, for the single best research paper presented across the entire conference in a given year.
The Hanumantha Reddy Award, awarded once every two years, separately recognises the best paper specifically in the field of Paediatric Ophthalmology. Dr. Debraj Shome received both awards in the same year in 2010, at the AIOS annual conference held in Kolkata, for the same body of work: a paper on a novel nano-molecule formulation of Carboplatin (a chemotherapy drug) designed to more effectively treat retinoblastoma, a cancer of the eye that predominantly affects young children.
The All India Ophthalmological Society (AIOS) is the apex professional body representing ophthalmologists across India. Its annual conference is one of the largest gatherings of eye-care specialists in the country, where the year’s most significant original research in ophthalmology is presented and recognised. Winning two distinct awards at a single AIOS conference, one for best overall paper, and one specifically within paediatric ophthalmology is considered a rare achievement, reflecting the clinical significance of the research.
This early recognition in ocular oncology research laid the scientific groundwork for Dr. Debraj Shome’s later work across facial plastic surgery, oculoplastic surgery, and cosmetic dermatology.
