description: "Chaitan Khosla is an Indian-born American biochemist, the Wells H. Rauser and Harold M. Petiprin Professor of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry at Stanford University. He earned his B.Tech. in chemical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in 1985 and his Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology in 1990, while working with Jay Bailey on the expression of the Vitreoscilla Hemoglobin gene. He did his postdoctoral work at the John Innes Centre with David Hopwood. He has been a professor at Stanford since 1992 and was the program chair. His research is focused on two realms: the first is to build a molecular understanding of polyketide synthases, and the second is focused on the biochemistry of celiac disease, particularly involving tissue transglutaminase. His group play a large role in identifying the role of the α2-gliadin fragment in immune responses."
