Robert Warburton, PhD
Biography:
Dr. Warburton completed his Ph.D. in Biochemistry at Duquesne University in the laboratory of Dr. David W. Seybert and then did his Postdoc in the laboratory of Dr. Jeffrey A. Frelinger. His research interests are in proteomics, particularly in the study of point mutations and Structure/Function relationships.
Research:
Dr. Warburton is currently engaged in research, funded by the NIH, in collaboration with faculty in the School of Medicine at West Virginia University. The project is to model tumors to determine better immunotherapy methodology to treat aggressive triple negative breast cancers.
Courses Taught:
