Kalyan S. Chakrabarti
Welcome to my webpage. I am an associate professor of Biological science and Chemistry at the Krea University, Sri City, AP, India. Previously, I was affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, in Germany, HHMI, Brandeis University and the National Cancer Institute / National Institute of Health, USA. I completed my PhD from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India.
I am part of "The Common Babbler" collaboration to discuss science pedagogy. The links of the episodes of Youtube podcasts are on the right.
Here is my complete list of publications/profiles at:
