OverviewAI-generated summary
Srijon K. Banerjee's research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of bacterial infections, particularly those caused by *Mycobacterium tuberculosis*. His work investigates how bacteria regulate their stress responses and interact with host immune cells. He has studied the role of specific bacterial proteins and genetic regulatory elements, such as polyphosphate kinase 1 and the MtrAB two-component system, in bacterial survival and pathogenesis. Additionally, his research explores how host immune signaling pathways, including microRNAs and cytokine regulation, influence macrophage responses and bacterial trafficking during infection. He also contributes to research on disease models, including the use of human precision-cut lung slices to study pneumonic plague and the role of bacterial proteases in infection.
Banerjee is involved in a large NIH-funded project focused on developing platforms for quantitative imaging informatics in precision medicine. This project, where he serves as a Co-PI, received $1,591,584 from the National Cancer Institute. His publication record includes work on bacterial cell growth and division, innate immune signaling, and host-pathogen interactions. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 10, with 18 total publications and 487 total citations.
