Principal Investigator

Dr. Nimrat Chatterjee

I love thinking about the why and how of mutation formation in cells. In addition to my passion for scientific research, I love mentoring, writing, and teaching. Outside of Science, I am a marathon runner and love action movies, knitting, rock climbing, and gardening!

Graduate student

Sombodhi Bhattacharya

I am a first-year graduate student in the CMB program, with a keen interest in unraveling the mechanisms of Rev1-dependent DNA damage response and its potential role in therapeutic resistance to cancer, including chemoresistance and radio resistance. Outside the lab, I enjoy playing the piano, producing music and background scores for short films, and exploring the beauty of our planet. I am excited for the journey ahead in the Chatterjee lab and look forward to my research years.

I am pursuing a B.S. in Microbiology & Molecular Genetics. I am interested in studying how REV1 regulates switches in cell death pathway choice, specifically autophagy and senescence. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, singing, and watching sports!
