(Vengalil) Krishna (Kumar) Chatterjee[1] FRS FMedSci FRCP[2] is a Professor of Endocrinology in the Department of Medicine at the University of Cambridge[3] and a Fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge.[4]
Education[]
Chatterjee was educated at Wolfson College, Oxford where he was awarded Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery degrees.[when?][1]
Research and career[]
Chatterjee is distinguished for his discoveries of genetic disorders of thyroid gland formation, regulation of hormone synthesis and hormone action, which have advanced fundamental knowledge of the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis.[2] He has identified dominant negative inhibition by defective nuclear receptors as a common mechanism in thyroid hormone resistance and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ)-mediated insulin resistance.[2][5] He has shown how deficiency of human selenocysteine-containing proteins causes a multisystem disease, including disordered thyroid hormone metabolism. He seeks to translate such understanding into better diagnosis and therapy of both rare and common thyroid conditions.[2]
Notable Cambridge scientists with whom Chatterjee has shared paper authorship include Sadaf Farooqi, Stephen O'Rahilly, Antonio Vidal-Puig, and Nick Wareham.
