About


Rajendra Angara earned a doctorate in molecular microbiology from the Center for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics, India in 2018. His dissertation project examined the transcription regulatory network of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Currently, as a postdoc in the Gilk laboratory at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, he is investigating how Coxiella burnetii manipulates host lipid metabolism using its type 4B effector proteins. 

Nature parks, tennis, and documentaries fills his free time.
