Devavani Chatterjea is an immunologist who studies the development of T
cells, stromal cell signaling in the bone marrow and the roles of mast
cells in the initiation of inflammatory pain. She has previously worked
on developing models of bone marrow transplantation and bacterial
infection in mice as well as in therapeutic drug development for
autoimmune diseases in the research immunology division of Genentech,
Inc.
Devavani is the associate director of Macalester’s Program in Community
and Global Health and is particularly interested in the development of
curricula and programs that bring public health education into the
context of undergraduate liberal learning. She likes to explore the use
and application of immunological metaphors and frameworks of thought to
issues of socio-cultural identity.
