RESEARCH INTERESTS
Biological processes, such as cell growth, death, immune response to foreign pathogens, are extremely complex phenomena, regulated by the interplay of a large number of components interacting across many length and time scales. At the cellular level, for instance, such biological processes are typically initiated by receptor-ligand binding at the cell surface, which triggers intracellular signaling, which in turn regulates gene transcription that ultimately decides the cell fate. Raychaudhuri lab investigates the role of individual molecular and cellular components that underlie complex behavior in biological systems.
We apply statistical mechanics and numerical simulations (e.g. Monte Carlo) in order to solve problems of biomedical relevance. Current projects in our lab focus on molecular mechanism of B cell immune synapse formation and associated signaling, apoptotic cell death signaling and diseases.
