Bappaditya Chandra

Bappaditya Chandra is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, North Dakota State University. His research focuses on biomolecular condensates formed via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), particularly their roles in cancer and disease mechanisms.

• Research Highlights: Transcription factor condensates, fusion oncoprotein dynamics, viral protein interactions, and synthetic bio-materials.
• Methodologies: Advanced microscopy, protein engineering, mass spectrometry, and computational modeling.

Recent work in Nature Communications (2023) and Cancer Discovery (2022) demonstrates how LLPS drives oncogenic processes. His lab also investigates Amyloid-β aggregation in neurodegenerative diseases, applying fluorescence quenching and molecular simulations. Collaborative efforts include Annual Reviews of Cancer Biology (2023) and Journal of Molecular Biology (2018).

Students: Dr. Monica Singh (postdoc), Jacob (PhD), and Ciara Reller (undergraduate). Contact: bappaditya.chandra@ndsu.edu
