Congratulations
to Dr. Shampa Chatterjee for being the recipient of one of the three
Hermann Rahn awards in 2015. Dr. Chatterjee is Assistant Professor of
Physiology and is associated with
the Institute For Environmental Medicine at the University of
Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. She was nominated by Dr. Jahar
Bhattacharya and Dr. Nilam Mangalmurti for her paper
NOX2 in lung inflammation: quantum dot based in situ imaging of NOX2-mediated expression of vascular cell adhesion
molecule-1. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol. 2014 Feb;306(3):L260-8, PMID:23475902. In this paper they used
VCAM-targeted QDs in a mouse model to show that endothelial NADPH oxidase-2 induces VCAM expression with lung inflammation in
vivo.
This was the first report to highlight the key role of endothelial NADPH
oxidase in the onset of inflammation. In addition, she used a novel
method (quantum dots coupled to antibodies against adhesion molecules)
for the detection of adhesion molecules to lung
endothelial cells.
