Welcome to Srijit Mukherjee's page! If you're seeking for movies, you'll only find a profile of a science nerd and no award-winning Bengali drama. I work as a Biophysical Chemist in Palo Alto, California. I study protein and enzyme functioning from the standpoint of the underlying molecular electrostatics. My present position at Stanford University is as a postdoctoral research associate in Professor Steven G. Boxer's laboratory.

From 2016 until 2022, I was a graduate student in Professor Ralph Jimenez's lab at JILA in Boulder, Colorado. I was co-advised by Professor Amy E. Palmer towards a dissertation titled "Spectroscopic Evaluation of Excited State Depopulation in Red Fluorescent Proteins Developed Using Fluorescence Lifetime Selections". JILA was a unique scientific institution fostered by the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado at Boulder.

My tryst with studying molecular interactions started with my undergraduate research at Professor K.S. Viswanathan's lab at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research almost a decade ago. More on my science under the research tab !
