Research Description

Robert Saxton is an Assistant Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology and Chemistry.  The Saxton lab studies molecular mechanisms of cell signaling in the context of tissue inflammation and repair. They use a combination of protein engineering, chemical biology, and structural biology to interrogate immune cell communication, with the goal of developing new therapeutic modalities for treating inflammatory disease.
