Cristian Valencia
I'm a postdoctoral fellow that is interested in applying genetics and genomics to understand the interindividual variability on immune-related phenotypes. I joined the Raychaudhuri lab in 2021 and I am working on integrating single cell multi-omic thechnologies to better understand the genetics and the regulatory programs of immune mediated disease like type 1 diabetes. I completed my PhD at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health in 2021 under the supervision of Dr. Priya Duggal and Dr. Ben Larman where I studied the genetics of the antibody response to Epstein-Barr virus and Human Adenovirus at the epitope level. I am originally from Peru where I got my BA in biology from Universidad Nacional Federico Villarreal in 2012. Outside the lab I enjoy exploring the national parks and I am a foodie and black coffee lover.
