Professor Krish Chatterjee awarded a New Year’s Honour
December 31, 2022
Huge congratulations to Krishna Chatterjee, Professor of Endocrinology at the IMS-MRL who has been made a CBE (Commander of the order of the British Empire) in the King’s New Year Honours, for services to people with endocrine disorders.
Krish is known for discoveries of genetic disorders of thyroid gland formation, the regulation of hormone synthesis and hormone action. These have changed our understanding of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.
He said:
I am delighted that my contributions to endocrine disorders have been honoured in this way. This also represents the efforts of many scientists and clinical colleagues in Cambridge and internationally, with whom I have worked over the years. Together with the patients participating in our research, we strive to advance knowledge and outcomes in rare hormone disorders.
Krish’s research group is focused on genetic and molecular endocrinology, exploring disorders including resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) and PPARgamma gene defects associated with lipodystrophic insulin resistance. They have also shown how deficiency of human selenocysteine-containing proteins leads to a multisystem disease, including disordered thyroid hormone metabolism, and works on translating his discoveries to improve diagnosis and treatment of thyroid conditions.
