Background Information
John Ray received his BS in Molecular, Cellular and Development Biology at the University of Washington in 2007 and his PhD in Immunobiology at Yale University in 2014, working in the laboratory of Joe Craft, MD. He completed his postdoctoral research at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in the lab of Nir Hacohen, PhD, studying autoimmune disease genetic risk in non-coding regions and epigenetic regulation of immune cell subsets.
Dr. Ray joined the faculty of the Benaroya Research Institute in 2020 and is currently an Assistant Member. Dr. Ray has affiliate appointments at the University of Washington’s Departments of Immunology and Genome Sciences.
