Dr. Aniruddha Chatterjee is originally from Berhampore, West Bengal (India), where he completed his schooling. He moved to the southern part of India and completed a BSc (Osmania University, Hyderabad) and MSc degree (VIT University, Vellore) in Biotechnology with a first class distinction. Following this, Aniruddha came to the University of Otago in New Zealand in 2009 where he commenced his PhD. In his doctoral work, he mapped whole-genome scale DNA methylation patterns and variation in normal human neutrophil cells. Aniruddha played a leading role in performing the first reduced representation methylation sequencing in human neutrophils, melanoma, and the model organism of zebrafish. He also heavily published the methodology development for DNA methylation and microRNA analysis. In 2017 he was awarded the prestigious Rutherford Discovery Fellowship from the Royal Society of New Zealand to establish this Epigenetics, Disease, and Phenotype Laboratory (EDP). He is the Topical Advisory Panel Member of the journal Epigenomes for MDPI. His scientific output includes 82 publications, corresponding to 1862 citations (h-index 22) (Scopus, 7 December 2023). Outside of work he enjoys dancing, acting, sports, travelling, and music.
