Bio
Dr. Chatterjee obtained his M.S. from Ramakrishna Mission, Narendrapur (University
of Calcutta) in Organic Chemistry (2013) and Ph.D. from CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical
Biology and Jadavpur University (2018). He completed postdoctoral fellowships at LSU
Medical School (2018–2020) and Xavier University of LA (2020–2021).
Since 2021, Dr. Chatterjee has been an Assistant Professor at Southeastern Louisiana
University (2021–2022), University of West Florida (2022–2023) and Coker University
(2023–2024). During these appointments, his primary focus was teaching undergraduate
students Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry and engaging them in research.
In 2024, Dr. Chatterjee was hired by LSU Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC) as Assistant
Professor in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology. He is also an Associate
Member of the Graduate Faculty of the LSU Health Sciences Center, School of Graduate
Studies.

Research
Dr. Chatterjee’s current research focuses on non-invasive mass spectrometry-based
biomarker detection for the early-stage diagnosis of cancer, neurodegenerative, cardiovascular,
gastrointestinal, and pediatric disorders. By analyzing biomarkers from easily accessible
samples such as blood, urine, feces etc this approach provides a highly sensitive,
cost-effective, and time-efficient diagnostic method.
He is also dedicated to advancing target-based drug discovery by identifying and targeting
specific disease-related proteins or genes to develop highly selective therapeutics
for cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. His approach combines AI-based drug design,
biophysical methodologies, biochemical testing, molecular modelling and simulation
to identify complete target interactions and optimal candidates for drug design.
