Education and career
Raychaudhuri completed his undergraduate degrees in biophysics and mathematics from State University of New York at Buffalo in 1997.[4] He went on to join the Stanford University Medical School where he completed his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees. He pursued clinical training in internal medicine, followed by subspecialty training in rheumatology at BWH. He concurrently completed postdoctoral training in human genetics at the Broad Institute with Mark Daly. In 2010, he launched his laboratory and joined the faculty at Harvard Medical School. He was promoted to Professor in 2018.
His lab[5] at Harvard uses human genetics,[6] functional genomics and bioinformatics techniques to study immune mediated diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis[7][8] and tuberculosis.[9][10] His lab has also been active in investigating the genetic basis of other diseases including age related macular degeneration[11] and type I diabetes.[12]
