Dr Subhasis Chattopadhyay

School of Biological Sciences, National Institute of Science Education & Research (NISER), Bhubaneswar, India

Dr. Subhasis Chattopadhyay is currently working as an Associate Professor in the School of Biological Sciences at the National Institute of Science Education & Research (NISER) Bhubaneswar, an autonomous institute under the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India and affiliated to Homi Bhabha National Institute, Training School Complex, Anushaktinagar, Mumbai, India. He did his BSc and MSc in Zoology from Calcutta University, India. He obtained his Ph.D. from Jadavpur University with his research work at the Indian Institute of Chemical Biology (IICB), Kolkata, India. He holds two postdoctoral research fellowships from the University of Connecticut Health Center, USA, at the Department of Medicine and Department of Immunology, USA.

His current work is focused on understanding the fundamental consequences of cellular immune responses associated with altered physiological processes related to infection immunity, tumor immunity, inflammation, and immune-regulatory responses in various cases of altered host cell functions and phenotypes. His lab is currently working on the immunological basis of cell mediated immunity (CMI) to decipher the cellular pathways, strategies associated with altered host cell responses during viral infection (e.g., Chikungunya virus- CHIKV infection), cancer immunity, inflammation, experimental immunosuppression, and immune-regulatory processes involving Toll-like receptor, Transient receptor potential (TRP) channel, regulatory T cells (Treg) and other responses.

He serves as an editorial board member for several prestigious scientific journals, contributing his expertise to the peer-review process and advancing the field of immunology through his extensive research endeavors. Dr. Chattopadhyay has around 60 publications in esteemed scientific journals and is actively involved in teaching immunology to undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students.
