The mission of the Rudra Lab is to employ innovative molecular engineering approaches to uncover fundamental knowledge about interactions of biomaterials with the immune system for the rational design of vaccines and immunotherapies.

We conduct rigorous and responsible science in an environment that prioritizes excellence, integrity, curiosity, and collaboration. We pledge to foster an enriching and inclusive environment that will lift up voices that have been marginalized in STEM to better train the next generation of scientists.

The Rudra Lab at Washington University in St. Louis is directed by Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Jai Rudra. He has a PhD from Louisiana Tech University and a B Tech from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University.
