Dr. Chanda is a Professor at the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute, where he runs a lab focused on elucidating host-pathogen interactions using a series of systems-level approaches. With demonstrated history of working in research and drug development within industry, the lab is poised to bridge the gap between fundamental discovery-based science and therapeutic development. We bring our expertise in high-throughput assay development, host-pathogen interactions, and innate immunity to the development of ‘next generation’ host factor and immune-mediated antivirals.
