Raman Nelakanti

Professional: I am an 8th year MD-PhD student at the Yale School of Medicine. For my PhD thesis under the mentorship of Prof. Andrew Xiao in the Dept. of Genetics, I studied the function of a newly discovered epigenetic mark, DNA N(6)-methyladenine, in stem cell fate decisions during trophoblast development and hematopoiesis. I am interested in pursuing a physician-scientist career at the intersection of epigenetics, stem cell biology, and human disease.

Hobbies: Hiking, Biking, A Cappella, Cricket
