Biography
Anirban Basu completed his undergraduate studies (BSc Hons) in 1991 and post graduate course (MSc) in 1993 at the School of Life Sciences of the Viswa Bharati University .[1] His doctoral studies were at the CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology and later, he has done his postdoctoral studies at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, Pennsylvania.[2] Returning to India, he joined the National Brain Research Centre (NBRC) in 2004 as a scientist and a member of its faculty.[3] At NBRC, presently he serves as a senior scientist and has established an independent laboratory to study different aspects of neurotropic viral infection of brain.[4]

Professional profile
Basu's research focus is on central nervous system diseases (CNS diseases) and he has studied the central nervous system with regard to how microglia and neural stem/progenitor cells affect the system.[5] The team led by him are involved in research on the pathogenesis of viruses such as Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), West Nile Virus (WNV) and Chandipura virus (CHPV) and how they cause neuronal damage in hosts.[6] In 2011, his group identified minocycline, a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic generally used for treating skin infections, as having properties in fighting the disease of Japanese encephalitis, which they discovered through their experiments on mice.[7] The findings were put on clinical trial at the King George's Medical University where it was found to have beneficial effect on Japanese encephalitis and Acute encephalitis syndrome patients who survive the initial attack of the diseases and this has led to a wider study on the subject.[5] He was the guest editor for Clinical and Developmental Immunology journal when they released a special issue on Microglia in Development and Disease in 2013[2] and has mentored several research scholars in the post-graduate, doctoral and post-doctoral studies.[5]
Basu serves as a member of the Faculty of 1000 at their division dealing with infectious diseases of the nervous system.[8] He is also part of the editorial board of journals such as the Journal of Neurochemistry,[9] Scientific Reports,[10] Journal of Neuroinflammation,[11] and Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience[12]
