I would prefer emphasizing basics with global perspective of research for undergraduate students, while discussing mechanisms and bridging it with application research would be for postgraduate students. Research Goal Dr. Chatterjee’s major contribution is in studying the mechanism underlying nitric oxide implications in vascular biology. Specifically, he has contributed significantly to understanding the molecular mechanism of controlling endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and thereby nitric oxide production. Being a prime modulator of angiogenesis, nitric oxide plays a vital role in normal and pathological angiogenesis. Dr. Chatterjee’ s lab’s goal is to understand the fundamental aspects of nitric oxide-angiogenesis crosstalk followed by application with therapeutic angiogenesis. The present focus of Chatterjee lab is to confer protection against teratogenicity and embryopathy in Indian population by understanding nitric oxide implications in teratogenicity and angiogenesis. His group discovered the specific time window in early development that is the most vulnerable time point for teratogenic assault which is associated with blood island formation in the development of embryo. Dr. Chatterjee’s work also demonstrated that nitric oxide and nitric oxide donors can protect the embryo from teratogenicity and embryopathy by rectifying blood vessel formation under different teratogenic assaults including thalidomide. Dr. Chatterjee was awarded a PCT patent followed by a US patent for claiming antiangiogenesis potential of sFRP4, a purified recombinant human protein. He was also awarded Indian patents for synthesizing new thalidomide analogs. Thalidomide is a potent drug for Multiple Myeloma and Erythema Nodosum Leprosy (ENL). These novel analogs that are more potent in inhibiting angiogenesis than thalidomide, were synthesized in collaboration with IHBT, CSIR, Palampur. Another new analog with least side effects particularly targeting thalidomide mediated teratogenicity is under development and will be patented. 1 Suvro Chatterjee, Ph.D. UGC-FRP Associate Professor Centre for Biotechnology & Vascular Biology Lab, AU-KBC Research Centre Anna university, Chennai Affiliation 1.
