Vengalil Krishna Kumar Chatterjee CBE FRS FRCP FMedSci [2] (born 23 April 1958) [1] is a British endocrinologist. He is a professor of endocrinology in the Department of Medicine at the University of Cambridge [3] and a fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge. [4] He is also the director of the Cambridge Clinical Research Centre, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). [5]
Chatterjee was born on 23 April 1958. He was educated at Wolfson College, Oxford, where he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree, and a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery degree in 1982. [1] [6]
Chatterjee is distinguished for his discoveries of genetic disorders of thyroid gland formation, regulation of hormone synthesis and hormone action, which have advanced fundamental knowledge of the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis. [2] He has identified dominant negative inhibition by defective nuclear receptors as a common mechanism in thyroid hormone resistance and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ)-mediated insulin resistance. [2] [7] He has shown how deficiency of human selenocysteine-containing proteins causes a multisystem disease, including disordered thyroid hormone metabolism. He seeks to translate such understanding into better diagnosis and therapy of both rare and common thyroid conditions. [2]
Notable Cambridge scientists with whom Chatterjee has shared paper authorship include Sadaf Farooqi, Stephen O'Rahilly, Antonio Vidal-Puig, and Nick Wareham.
Chatterjee was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2023 New Year Honours for services to people with endocrine disorders. [8]
