He has been elected a Fellow of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine of the Royal Colleges of UK .

Prof. Jain is the author of over 348 publications including 11 books and 44 special reports. The reports topics include genomics, proteomics, molecular diagnostics, gene therapy, RNA interference, nanobiotechnology, drug delivery, neurological disorders and personalized medicine. He has also written a textbook of gene therapy (now translated into Chinese). He is an associate editor of Medlink Neurology, an electronic encyclopedia of neurology published by Medlink Corporation ( San Diego , California ) for the continuing education of neurologists.
