Jemma Arakelyan: Honored to speak with Raju Kucherlapati during the BioHK24

Jemma Arakelyan shared on LinkedIn:

“I had the incredible honor of speaking with Dr. Raju Kucherlapati from Harvard Medical School during the BioHK24, City University of Hong Kong-Asian Fund for Cancer Research symposium!

His passion for research is truly inspiring. Dr. Raju Kucherlapati has made significant contributions across various fields, from gene targeting and homologous recombination to mapping the human genome – especially chromosome 12.

What struck me most was his dedication to developing techniques that modify genes in mammalian cells and his work on cloning human disease genes. It’s amazing to see how his efforts are shaping the future of genetics and medicine.

Thank you, Dr. Raju Kucherlapati, for sharing your insights and for all that you do to advance our understanding of human health!

Thanks for this great opportunity-Sujuan Ba and OncoDaily, Gevorg Tamamyan.
