Dr. Uma Nandi​ was a brilliant polymer chemist, father, husband and son.  Dr. Nandi held several patents for his pioneering work. He was also an amazing cook and singer, a true Renaissance man!   He ​had a devastating stroke over 9 years ago which changed his life forever. ​

Without the love and advocacy of his family, and the ground breaking ​treatment facilities available to him, Uma would not have lived to see the birth of his grandsons and the love of his community.
