Biography
Dr. Siddhartha Datta completed his M.Sc. in biochemistry from Maharaja Sayajirao University, Vadodara, India and earned his Ph.D in biochemistry and biophysics while at the Center for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad, India. His studies towards a Ph.D involved investigating the mechanistic properties of the alpha-crystallins, small heat shock proteins involved in maintenance of eye lens transparency. Dr. Datta pursued his postdoctoral training in the lab of Dr. Alan Rein in the Retroviral Assembly Section, HIV Drug Resistance Program, NCI, where he is currently a staff scientist.
Research Interest
