Rachel Jamison Perry is an Associate Professor in the Department of Cellular & Molecular Physiology at Yale School of Medicine, with additional appointments in Endocrinology, Comparative Medicine, and Neuroscience. She earned her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and her Ph.D. in Cellular & Molecular Physiology from Yale University, followed by postdoctoral training in Medicine/Endocrinology. Dr. Perry established her independent laboratory in 2018, focusing on stable isotope tracer methods to study obesity and its metabolic effects. Her team investigates how hyperinsulinemia alters tumor glucose uptake and oxidative metabolism, particularly in cancer models. Current NIH and other funding supports her research into the systemic metabolic responses during cancer and inflammation, as well as the role of exercise in combatting obesity-associated tumor growth. Dr. Perry values mentorship and actively teaches and trains students at various academic levels, fostering an equitable training environment and enhancing the scientific community at Yale and beyond.
