Dr. Kausik Chattopadhyay is an Associate Professor in the
Department of Biological Sciences at the Indian Institute of
Science Education and Research Mohali (IISER Mohali). He received
his PhD degree in Biochemistry from the Calcutta University in
2004, and subsequently completed his post-doctoral research with
Prof. Stanley G. Nathenson at the Department of Microbiology and
Immunology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New
York, USA. He joined IISER Mohali as an Assistant Professor in
2009, and became Associate Professor in 2014. His research
interests focus on understanding the structure-function mechanisms
of membrane-damaging, bacterial, pore-forming toxins, and their
implications for the host-pathogen interaction processes and
immunity. He received the prestigious National BioScience Award for
Career Development for the year 2014, awarded by the Department of
Biotechnology, Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of
India for his work in this area.Dr. Subhash C. Basu is an Emeritus
Professor at the University of Notre Dame (UND), Department of
Chemistry and Biochemistry and also the president of the CDDRF
(Cancer Drug Delivery Research Foundation). He received his PhD
degree in Biochemistry in 1966 from the University of Michigan and
was a Helen Hay Whitney Research Fellow (1966-70) under Professor
Saul Roseman at the Johns Hopkins University. He joined both the
teaching and research faculty at the UND in 1970 and became a Full
Professor and Chairman of the Biochemistry, Biophysics and
Molecular Biology program in 1983. He was awarded a D.Sc. degree in
Biochemistry from the University of Calcutta, India in 1976 . He
received the Jacob Javits Neuroscience Research Award from NIH
(1989-98), and the S. C. Roy Medal of Achievement Award from the
University of Calcutta, India in 1990. He was elected to the
prestigious Johns Hopkins Honor Society in 1995. He has been an
elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of
Sciences (FAAAS) since 1988. He received the "NRI-2015 Award"
Trophy in the International Professional category from the
respected India Times newspaper in April 2015.
