Research

Banerjee's work focuses on the role of hydrogen sulfide as a signaling molecule in living systems. She also studies the complex networks of metalloenzymes and vitamins, specifically Co(I)-containing complexes such as Vitamin B12, and its role in the aforementioned sulfur / sulfide metabolism.[1]

Editorial

Since 2012, Professor Banerjee has been an Associate Editor for Chemical Reviews and the Journal of Biological Chemistry.[2] She has authored two textbooks on the chemistry and biological effects of Vitamin B12 and on reduction / oxidation cascades in biological systems.[3]
