Rea Agnihotri

Research Technician I

Rea Agnihotri is a pre-medical student from Portland, Oregon. She joined the Wu lab as an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis in September 2021.

Since graduating in May 2023 with an A.B. in neuroscience and minors in healthcare management and psychology, Rea has been working in the Wu Lab during her gap years.

Through research, she hopes to combine her current knowledge of neuroscience with her expanding understanding of immunology to investigate the mechanisms behind and potential translational applications for disease amelioration.

Outside of the Wu Lab, Rea is a patient care technician at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. She also enjoys volunteering for various mental health initiatives, spending time with her cats, and hosting dinner parties with her friends.
