Dr. Abhik Banerjee
Dr. Abhik Banerjee received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in chemistry from University of Calcutta. He did his Ph.D. in 2015 from National Chemical Laboratory, India. He was then postdoctoral scholar at Ulsan National University of Science and Technology, South Korea. He is currently a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Nano-engineering at UCSD, working in the “Laboratory of Energy Storage and Conversion” under Prof. Ying Shirley Meng. His research interest includes the design principle and interfacial charge transfer limitation of solid-state electrolytes for Li and Na-ion batteries.
Dr. Indranil Basak
Dr. Indranil Basak
Indranil is a postdoctoral fellow in Dr Stephanie Hughes's lab in the Department of Biochemistry. He joined the University of Otago in June 2018 with an aim to understand the underlying mechanisms involved in neurodegeneration in Batten disease. Indranil has a PhD in Biological Sciences from St. John's University, New York, focusing on neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease.
Indranil has a keen interest in non-coding RNAs, especially microRNAs. After the completion of his PhD, Indranil pursued a postdoctoral training at the University of Utah on microRNAs in hematology.
Indranil moved to New Zealand to reunite with his family and to follow his passion to study genetics and neurodegeneration.
At the University of Otago, he is investigating differential proteomic, epigenetic and transcriptomic profiles in Batten disease, using induced pluripotent stem cell derived neurons and CRISPR-Cas9 technologies, with an aim to identify potential therapeutic targets for this devastating childhood brain disease.
Dr. Bhattacharyya currently a postdoctoral fellow at UT, Austin working on bacterial group behavior and adaptive resistance. He did His PhD from Indian Institute of Science in Prof. Umesh Varshney's lab. He worked on protein synthesis initiation, recycling, and role of rRNA modifications in E. coli. He has obtained his masters degree from B.H.U. in Zoology (specialization,i.e., majors in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology during Masters)

Post Doctoral Researcher, Craig Montell Lab, University of California, Santa Barbara, Unites States of America. He Did his Ph.D under University of California. His did Ph.D. on Neurosciences. His Research Areas are i) Taste and contact chemosensation - defining the taste receptors and cells that explain how fruit flies discriminate different types of chemicals in foods, and how flies undergo plastic changes in their taste preferences in response to long-term exposure to different diets. ii) Thermosensation - dissecting the cellular and molecular mechanisms through Drosophila is able to discriminate very small differences in comfortable temperature range. In their Lab they found that this behavior is mediated in part through a thermosensory signaling cascade that is initiated by rhodopsin and culminates with activation of the TRPA1 channel.
iii) Unconventional roles for rhodopsins - Rhodopsins are ancient and evolutionarily conserved light receptors. Based on >100 years of study, the dogma was that they function exclusively in light reception. Their recent and ongoing work challenges this tenet. They uncovered the first light-independent role for these evolutionarily conserved light sensors. Remarkably, opsins enable fruit flies to discriminate between tiny temperature differences within the comfortable range. Their recent results suggest additional, light-independent functions for opsins, leading us to propose that opsins function in all senses where, as in the visual system, they confer great sensitivity to weak stimuli as well as the capacity to adapt. We propose that these properties of opsins help animals from flies to humans detect exquisitely minor levels of sensory stimuli, and then respond appropriately. They have many important research publications.

Dr. subhrajit banerjee
Subhra grew up in India, completing his Bachelors and Masters degree from the Calcutta University. He received his PhD from Patty Kane's lab at SUNY Upstate in Syracuse, where he worked on how phosphoinositide lipids regulate acidification of subcellular organelles. Subhra joined the Zoncu lab in September, 2018. He is interested in understanding the molecular basis of nutrient signal transduction from the lysosome. In his spare time, Subhra enjoys classical and rock music, poetry, cooking, and watching movies.
