Dr. Sanjukta Chakraborty is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medical Physiology, College of Medicine at Texas A&M University Health Science Center. Her research program is focused on inflammation-mediated changes in the lymphatic microenvironment and how that contributes to tumor lymphatic interactions and enhances lymph node metastasis of solid tumors. In particular, the lab is leveraging cross-disciplinary concepts in molecular cancer genetics, lymphatic biology, inflammatory signaling mechanisms, and metabolic regulation to develop integrative approaches to mitigating cancer metastasis and metabolic disorders. Our lab is funded by the NIH, CPRIT (High Impact/High Risk), and AHA Career Development Grants. Dr. Chakraborty serves on the editorial board of Clinical and Translational Hepatology, Bioengineering, and Frontiers in Vascular Physiology.
