Guest Speaker
Anjana Rao, Ph.D.
Professor, Center for Autoimmunity and Inflammation,
Center for Cancer Immunotherapy
La Jolla Institute for Immunology
Dr. Anjana Rao is a Professor of the La Jolla Institute for Immunology and Adjunct Professor in Pharmacology at the University of California San Diego. Dr. Rao identified important regulators of T cell differentiation at both the genetic and epigenetic level and showed how they influence subsequent immune responses. She received the 2016 Frederick W. Alt Award for New Discoveries in Immunology and has also been elected to the National Academy of Sciences. Her current research continues to focus on characterizing the molecular mechanisms that underlie signaling activity and gene expression in T cells.
