Join Meghdut on Make Calcutta Relevant Again as he speaks with Dr. Sumantra Chatterjee, the scientist behind Chinta, a 35,000 sq. ft. Kolkata lab where he’s building human mini-brains to study Indian-specific medical challenges. From IIT Kanpur to working with Francis Crick, Dr. Chatterjee shares his breakthroughs on how stress rewires the brain, and explains his mission to tackle SCA12, a rare genetic disorder found mostly in India. Using patient blood to create 3D brain organoids, his team is identifying targeted treatments and proving why Kolkata holds a global edge in this research. He ends with a powerful call for support to build a “homecoming” program and bring world-class scientists back to solve India’s growing health crises.
