Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Srijon K. Banerjee investigates host-pathogen interactions, focusing on the molecular mechanisms underlying bacterial infections and the host immune response. His research has explored the role of specific bacterial proteins and host factors in disease pathogenesis. For instance, his work has examined how transcription factors in *Mycobacterium tuberculosis* facilitate adaptation to hypoxic stress, and how glucose transporter 1 is essential for resolving *Staphylococcus aureus* skin infections. Banerjee has also studied the contribution of DNA repair pathways and specialized phosphate transport to *Staphylococcus aureus*'s resistance to nitric oxide stress. His publications include investigations into the activation and regulation of NLRP3 inflammasomes by infectious agents and the role of Interleukin-17 in pulmonary neutrophil infiltration during pneumonic plague. Additionally, he has contributed to the development and application of *ex vivo* human lung slice platforms for studying SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis and antiviral drug efficacy. Banerjee has a scholarly h-index of 9, with 18 total publications and 462 citations.
