Donald D. Anthony, Jr.

Donald D. Anthony, Jr. is a Professor in the School of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University and a Member of the Immune Oncology Program at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center. He holds external appointments as a Staff Physician at MetroHealth Medical Center. His research focuses on immune dysfunction in chronic diseases such as Hepatitis C virus infection (linking to HCC), Rheumatoid Arthritis, and the impact of immune health on COVID-19 outcomes. He investigates dendritic cell and NK cell subsets, chronic immune activation pathways, and Treg responses.

His work employs phenotypic, functional, and proteomic analyses of immune cells. Notably, he secures national funding for studies on immune activation's role in HCC, cardiovascular risks in Rheumatoid Arthritis, and immune correlates of severe COVID. Grants include investigations into TLR ligand-stimulated NK cell activation and cytokine secretion mechanisms.

No scientific awards are listed in the provided text. His advisory role and student mentoring are not detailed here. He collaborates in labs/team projects related to immune oncology and chronic inflammatory diseases, though specific lab names are not mentioned.
