About
Champak Chatterjee is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Washington, part of the College of Arts & Sciences. His research focuses on developing organic synthetic methodologies for protein chemistry, applied to understanding human gene regulation through post-translational modifications. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry (Chemical Biology) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2005) and conducted postdoctoral research in Chemical Biology at The Rockefeller University (2010).
Research interests include small-molecule synthesis, peptide/protein chemistry, bioanalytical measurements, and molecular biology. Trainees in his lab gain expertise in techniques such as mammalian cell culture and biophysical analysis. Former students have pursued academic roles (e.g., Keystone College), industry (e.g., Revolution Medicines), and postdoctoral positions (e.g., Harvard Medical School).
No scientific awards are explicitly listed in the provided text. The Chatterjee lab emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration and outdoor activities like hiking, reflecting their ethos of 'mens sana in corpore sano.'
