Dr. Chatterjee is a RNA biologist with a particular interest in studying nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of tRNA molecules. 他持有B。.S. 和M.S degrees in 微生物学 from Calcutta University and Ph.D. in 微生物学, Biochemistry 和Molecular 生物学 from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. Dr. Chatterjee obtained his post-doctoral training in molecular genetics in Dr. 安妮塔K. Hopper’s laboratory at The Ohio State University. He has conducted research on archaeal small non-coding RNAs and yeast tRNAs. His lab is currently working on how tRNA molecules are exported from their site of synthesis in the nucleus to their site of function in protein production in the cytoplasm, using yeast as a model organism. With the emerging roles of tRNA being highlighted in various human disease conditions including cancer, Dr. Chatterjee was awarded the Pelotonia Cancer fellowship for his research in 2016.
Dr. Chatterjee is a serious movie buff, avid reader of mythologies from all over the world and loves to cook in his free time.
