Prof. Dr. Surajit Bhattacharjya received his Ph.D. in Molecular Biophysics from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. He then worked at the National Research Council (NRC) of Canada. He joined Nanyang Technological University’s School of Biological Sciences as an Assistant Professor and was promoted with tenure to Associate Professor. His laboratory is engaged in cutting-edge research of a diverse nature: 1. Molecular mechanisms of cell-adhesion proteins, integrins, and development of therapeutics against cancer, inflammation, and blood-related diseases. 2. Host defense antimicrobial peptides and proteins to design new antimicrobials and antiendotoxic molecules. 3. De novo designing of functional synthetic proteins. He serves as an Academic Editor for multiple journals, PLOS-ONE, Scientific Reports, and the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS). He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) and an Overseas Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine.
