Biography

Shoumo Bhattacharya read Medicine at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences New Delhi, qualifying MBBS 1983, and MD 1985. Following clinical training in Cardiology at Northwick Park Hospital, Harrow, he joined James Scott’s group at the Clinical Research Centre, Harrow as a MRC Training Fellow in 1990, and worked on the mechanism of RNA editing. In parallel, he also read Biochemistry at King's College London, obtaining a Masters degree with Distinction in 1992. With fellowships from the BHF and then the NIH, he joined David Livingston’s group at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/ Harvard Medical School in 1994, where he discovered the role of EP300/CREBBP in interferon signalling, and of CITED2 in hypoxia signalling. He continued the work on CITED2 at Oxford from 1998-2008 as a Wellcome Senior Fellow, establishing the role of this gene in left-right patterning and heart development. Here, together with Jurgen Schneider he developed high-throughput magnetic resonance microscopy for studies of cardiac development, and using this deciphered the role of multiple genes in heart development, and the role of PCSK5 in antero-posterior patterning. He was elected Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 2003, awarded the Graham Bull Prize from the Royal College of Physicians in 2005, elected Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2006, and elected to a Statutory Professorship of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Oxford in 2010. The focus of his lab since 2015 has been the development of therapeutics from naturally occurring evasin proteins from ticks that target the chemokine network in inflammation.
