معرفی
Gregory Barton is a Professor in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on immunology, microbiology, cell biology, and mouse genetics, with an emphasis on microbial detection by the innate immune system and its linkage to adaptive immunity.
- Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Investigator
- C.H. Li Distinguished Professor
His lab investigates innate immunity through Toll-like receptor (TLR) studies, addressing pathogen recognition, self/non-self discrimination, and host-microbe interactions. Recent projects include TLR signaling in autoimmune diseases and coevolution of host-pathogen dynamics.
Selected publications highlight his work on TLR regulation, immune receptor trafficking, microbiome interactions, and mechanisms preventing autoimmunity. Research trends emphasize innate-adaptive immunity crosstalk and compartmentalized immune responses.
- HHMI Investigator appointment
- C.H. Li Distinguished Professorship
His lab has mentored awardees like Dr. John Huizar (ACR Distinguished Fellow), Dr. Camille Brewer, and Dr. Benjamin Brian (Damon Runyon Fellows). Research grants and lab funding likely stem from HHMI and institutional sources.
