Dr. Koustav Chatterjee

About

I am an Assistant Professor with research interests centered on human papillomavirus (HPV) and respiratory RNA viruses, with a strong focus on viral pathogenesis and host-virus interactions. My work integrates multi-omics approaches, including transcriptomics, proteomics, and systems-level analyses, to uncover molecular mechanisms underlying viral infection and persistence.

Another key aspect of my research is the development of direct and host-targeted antiviral strategies by leveraging multi-omics data and advanced experimental and computational technologies, with the goal of translating fundamental discoveries into effective therapeutic interventions.
