Volunteering and Leadership Roles

Raj volunteered for the Johns Hopkins Postdoctoral Association and co-founded the postdoctoral research presentation club—a forum for research communication and constructive feedback with fellow trainees and expert faculty. It continues to provide an organized professional development space for postdoctoral trainees at Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Prior to his appointment at Hopkins, Raj had volunteered for student-organized research forums at the University of Kansas ; for programs bringing science awareness to elementary school children in Kansas City, Missouri; and for health awareness and screening campaigns in the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, Mayetta, Kansas.
