Education
Chatterjee was born on 23 April 1958. He was educated at Wolfson College, Oxford, where he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree, and a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery degree in 1982.[1][6]
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][7] 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]
