Channel: Purdue Engineering
Date: 2019-04-05

2019 Purdue Engineering Distinguished Lecture Series presenter Dr. Arup Chakraborty. 

Vaccination has saved more lives than any other medical procedure. But, some pathogens have evolved which have defied successful vaccination using the empirical paradigms pioneered by Pasteur and Jenner. HIV, a highly mutable virus, is a prominent example. In this lecture, Chakraborty discusses "How to hit HIV where it hurts"

Arup K. Chakraborty’s career has been focused on work that brings together approaches from different disciplines to understand diverse phenomena and harness that knowledge toward practical ends. He is currently the Robert T. Haslam Professor of Chemical Engineering, and Professor of Physics, and Chemistry at MIT. He served as the founding Director of MIT’s Institute for Medical Engineering and Science from February 2012 to January 2018.
