Dr. Tapan Chatterjee

Tapan K. Chatterjee Memorial Fund

 

The Tapan K. Chatterjee Memorial Fund was established in 2016 in memory of our dear colleague and friend, who inspired us all with his brilliant mind, creativity, and determination to succeed despite overwhelming odds. Dr. Chatterjee made many important contributions to scientific research and was an outstanding teacher, mentor, and advocate for trainees. His legacy lives on in those who quietly give of themselves every day so that others may live a better life. This fund will supplement research expenses of Vascular Biology Center, including laboratory supplies.
