Carla V. Rothlin

Carla V. Rothlin is a distinguished immunologist and cell biologist, renowned for her significant contributions to the field of immunology. She is currently the Dorys McConnell Duberg Professor of Immunobiology and Pharmacology at Yale University.

Early Life and Education

Rothlin was born and raised in Argentina. She completed her undergraduate studies in biochemistry at the University of Buenos Aires. She then pursued her Ph.D. in molecular biology at the Leloir Institute, under the guidance of Dr. Gabriel Rabinovich.

Career and Research

After completing her Ph.D., Rothlin moved to the United States for her postdoctoral research at Stanford University, where she worked with Dr. Greg Lemke. Her research focused on the role of TAM receptors in the immune system.

In 2009, Rothlin joined the faculty at Yale University. Her lab focuses on the study of homeostatic mechanisms that regulate the immune response. Her work has significantly contributed to the understanding of how the immune system is regulated, particularly in the context of chronic inflammatory diseases and cancer.

Rothlin's research has led to the identification of novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer. Her work has been recognized by several awards, including the Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists.
