Raul Andino is a virologist and professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of California, San Francisco.[1]
Early life and education
Raul Andino was born in 1957.[2] He completed his Masters Degree in Biology in 1980 and his Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1986, both at the University of Buenos Aires.[1] He then went on to work as a postdoctoral researcher first at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research from 1986 to 1991, then at Rockefeller University in the lab of David Baltimore from 1991 to 1992.[1] He then joined the faculty of the University of California, San Francisco as an assistant professor.[1] He was promoted to associate professor in 1999, then full professor in 2003.[1]
Research
Raul Andino's research has long focused on poliovirus, but has expanded to other enteroviruses and host defenses against other RNA viruses.[2] His group has also had a long-standing interest in RNA interference as an antiviral defense, and in the dynamics of viral evolution during infection and transmission.[2]
