Shirshadri Chakraborty

Shirshadri completed his Bachelors (Hons.) in Life Sciences from Presidency University, Kolkata. For his Masters he joined Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, where he worked on the biochemical and biophysical characterisation of a bacterial cytosolic protein under the supervision of Prof. Aravind Penmatsa. His newfound research interests in the domains of synthetic and developmental biology led him to join the Collective Cellular Dynamics Lab at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Hyderabad as a Junior Research Fellow. There, he is currently trying to use synthetic chemical and biological tools to study developmental processes under the guidance of Prof. Tamal Das. When not working, he enjoys a match of chess, swimming and impromptu movie or dinner plans.
