Biography

Dr. Shyam S. Chaurasia was born in Gwalior, also described as the “The Medieval Majestic Indian City with Music in its Soul.” He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Science with Biochemistry as his major from the esteemed Nagpur University. He obtained a PhD degree from a globally ranked School of Life Sciences, Devi Ahilya University, Indore, India. He was awarded the prestigious Department of Biotechnology sponsored Postdoctoral Fellowship, and completed his Postdoctoral training in ophthalmology/neurosciences from Emory University, Atlanta, GA.

Dr. Chaurasia took his first faculty appointment in 2006 as a scientist at the Cole Eye Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH. In 2009, he decided to move to Singapore and joined the Singapore Eye Research Institute, Singapore, and Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology, A*STAR agency as an extramurally funded principal scientist/investigator. Later, he decided to return to the United States and took his first academic appointment as Assistant Professor on a tenure-track and successfully launched NIH/NEI-funded “Ocular Immunology & Angiogenesis Lab,” studying basic and translational research in vision sciences at the University of Missouri, Columbia, MO. In 2021, he joined as an associate professor in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences/Eye Institute at 老澳门六合彩图库.
