Biography

Nilanjan Chatterjee leads a broad research program in quantitative research that spans multiple areas of modern population-based biomedical science, including statistical genetics, genomics, precision medicine, and big data. His research aims to discover new biomarkers, understand disease mechanisms, characterize disease risk, and develop risk-stratified approaches to disease prevention. He has extensively collaborated on recent genome-wide association studies, contributing to the identification of new cancer susceptibility SNPs and providing insights into heritability, genetic architecture, and gene-environment interactions. These efforts have advanced the understanding of potential genetic risk stratification in cancer prevention.
