Assistant Professor at Texas A&M Health Science Center

Location: Bryan, TX United States

Robert Watson, PhD, MPH, has worked in the fields of cell biology, bacterial genetics, immunology and biochemistry for over 15 years. He started his career as a graduate student in the laboratory of Dr. Jorge Galán, where he studied Campylobacter jejuni -- bacteria that often cause food poisoning -- and developed the first pre-clinical model of C. jejuni infection. As a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Jeffrey Cox, he studied tuberculosis-causing bacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and the mechanisms that the human immune system uses to fight the infection. Dr. Watson is now the head of his own research laboratory at Texas A&M Health Science Center. He is an author of several important research publications.
