Biography
Prof. Chatterjee Received Ph.D on “Structural Elucidation of Pneumococcus Type XXII Polysaccharide” from the University of Calcutta in 1973. Studied lectin-carbohydrate interactions in Gerhard Uhlenbruck’s laboratory in Medical University and Clinic, Cologne, Germany (1976-1978). In 1990, Professor of Biological Chemistry, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Calcutta, Chairman (1997-2000), and Senior Professor (2006- 2007). During 28 years, he developed a lectin school that produced 15 Ph.D.s in the field of lectin-carbohydrate interaction which culminated to initiate research on glycobiology. He received many awards including Life-time Achievement Award from Association of Carbohydrate Chemists and Technologists (India) and Life-time Achievement Education Award from Health Education Development Association, New Delhi. As DAAD Fellow he visited Max-Planck Institute for Immunobiology, Friburg, Medical University and Clinic, Cologn
