Dr. Navin Varadarajan is an Associate Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Houston. He received his Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of Texas at Austin , as well as completed Post Doctoral research at the University of Texas and MIT. He received his Master's Degree in Organic Chemistry at the India Institute of Science.
At the University of Houston, Dr.Varadarajan's lab focuses on developing high-throughput screens designed to characterize a wide range of biological functions ranging from the properties of proteins in single cells to antigen mediated cellular cytotoxicity. The development of these assays should serve as versatile platforms for the systemic investigation of B cells and antibodies in autoimmune diseases; characterizing T cell responses in cancer and engineering therapeutic enzymes/antibodies.
