Dr. Rao is a world-renowned scientist and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. She made fundamental contributions to immunology and molecular biology by identifying important regulators of T cell signaling and differentiation at both the genetic and epigenetic levels, and showing how they influence immune responses.
After many years as a faculty member at the Harvard Medical School and the Immune Disease Institute in Boston, she joined the La Jolla Institute in 2010. Her current research continues to focus on characterizing the molecular mechanisms that underlie signaling activity and gene expression in T cells. She is a member of numerous advisory panels, and has received many major prestigious awards.
