Research Description

Robert Saxton is an Assistant Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology and Chemistry studying molecular mechanisms of immune cell signaling in the context of tissue inflammation and repair. The Saxton Lab uses a combination of protein engineering, structural biology, and functional genomics to interrogate immune cell communication, with the goal of developing new therapeutic modalities for treating chronic inflammatory diseases.
