Oxidative Stress in Lung Diseases

Prof. Sajal Chakraborti is a Professor of  Biochemistry at the University of Kalyani, West Bengal, India. His research covers the role of proteases, oxidant and Ca2+ signalling in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases. Prof. Chakraborti did is PhD from Calcutta University (1982) and DSc from Kalyani University (2014). He did post doctoral research at the Johns Hopkins University, University of Utah and New York Medical College. He received DBT-Senior Overseas Research Award for his research at the Brain Institute, University of Florida, Gainesville (1998-1999). He has been engaged in teaching and research in biochemistry for the past 40 years. He has published more than hundred original papers, 22 book chapters, 15 review articles and edited seven books published by Springer. Prof. Tapati Chakraborti is currently a Professor of Biochemistry in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of Kalyani, West Bengal India. She did her PhD from CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology, Kolkata (1993). She did her post doctoral research at the Brian Institute, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA supported by Americal heart Association. Her post doctoral research mainly focused on beta-adrenergic receptor regulation in heart diseases. She is currently doing research on oxidant and calcium signalling- mediated pathogenesis of lung diseases and also parasitic diseases especially Leishmaniasis. She received several extramural research funding from CSIR, ICMR, DBT, DST, DAE and UGC (Govt. of India). She published more than 80 original research papers in different internationally reputed journals and 20 book chapters in different books published by Springer and Academic Press. She edited a book titled: Proteases in Human Diseases published by Springer in 2017.  Prof. Salil K Das is a Professor of Biochemistry and Cancer Biology at the Meharry Medical College, University of Tennesse, Nashville, TN, USA.
