Dr. Dinesh Rao is a Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center. He is a member of the specialty Hematopathology. Dr. Rao completed his Fellowship in Hematopathology at the UCLA Medical Center in 2006. He earned his MD from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in 2000 and a BS in Biochemistry, summa cum laude, from the same university in 1995. Dr. Rao's clinical interests lie in hematolymphoid malignancies, particularly leukemia and lymphoma. His scientific research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer, especially the processes by which normal cellular differentiation is disrupted in cancer progression. He is investigating the role of non-coding RNAs in post-transcriptional gene expression regulation during hematopoiesis and malignancy, leading to the identification of significant RNA-binding proteins involved in acute leukemia. His work also involves the development of novel diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets for hematopoietic cancers. Dr. Rao has been recognized for his contributions to the field with multiple publications, highlighting key findings related to RNA-binding proteins and their roles in oncogenic signaling.
