NCBI Bibliography
Dr. Achyut K. Bhattacharyyacompleted his post-graduate training in 1976 with a gold medal in General Surgery from National Medical College, Calcutta, India. He was trained in Anatomic Pathology from the Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School and the New England Deaconess Hospital. He completed his Clinical Pathology training in 1986 from the Worcester Memorial Hospital. He is board certified in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology. Dr. Bhattacharyya’s interests and expertise involve G.I. and liver pathology. He leads an active telepathology diagnostic practice in Arizona under the Arizona Telemedicine Program.
Dr. Bhattacharyya is part of several American National Cancer Institute (NCI) research programs. These involve colon cancer prevention as well as G.I. cancer translational research. He actively collaborates with the Arizona Cancer Center, serves as the G.I. Pathologist for the center and leads a seminar every Wednesday for gastroenterologists.

Dr. Jon Chorover is Associate Dean for Research in the College of Agriculture, Life and Environmental Sciences and Professor of Environmental Chemistry in the Department of Environmental Science at the University of Arizona (UA). He received his B.S. (Environmental Science) from University of Michigan, and M.S. (Forest Science) and Ph.D. (Soil and Water Chemistry) from UC Berkeley, worked as an NSF postdoctoral fellow in Analytical Chemistry at University of Geneva, and was on the faculty of Penn State University before joining the faculty of University of Arizona. His research group explores the biogeochemistry of soil, sediment and water through laboratory and field-based experiments probed with advanced analytical chemistry techniques. Of particular interest is resolving how mineral-organic interactions influence the weathering of soils, the stabilization of organic carbon, and the speciation, mobility and bioaccessibility of pollutants. He directs a core analytical chemistry facility, the Arizona Laboratory for Emerging Contaminants (www.alec.arizona.edu) and served as PI of the UA-led, NSF-funded Santa Catalina Mountains – Jemez River Basin Critical Zone Observatory from 2009-2021 (http://criticalzone.org/catalina-jemez/).
