معرفی
Nimrat Chatterjee is an Assistant Professor at the University of Vermont's Robert Larner, M.D. College of Medicine, Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. Her research focuses on genome instability mechanisms in cancer and host-virus interactions, particularly studying the REV1 protein's role in DNA damage response and therapeutic targeting.
- Ph.D., Baylor College of Medicine (2014)
- Postdoctoral training at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (2015) and MIT (2020)
- Kauffman Teaching Certification (2018)
Her research explores how environmental stress affects DNA repair, mutagenesis pathways, and cancer therapy resistance. Recent work examines SARS-CoV-2's impact on genomic stability and small-molecule inhibitors targeting translesion synthesis. Publications demonstrate interdisciplinary approaches combining molecular biology, biochemical assays, and pharmacological interventions.
The lab employs techniques like tissue culturing, DNA damage assays, PCR, western blotting, and microscopy. Key collaborations include Ragon Institute BSL3 training (2022) and expertise in bone marrow failure disorders (Shwachman-Diamond/Diamond-Blackfan anemias).
