ABOUT SIMON ROBSON
Dr. Simon C. Robson MD, PhD, is Professor of Medicine and Anesthesia at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Center for Inflammation Research Center at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, BI Lahey, in Boston. He has served as Chief of Gastroenterology and Hepatology and is currently Vice Chair Research within Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine at the BIDMC. His major area of basic science research involves purinergic signaling and ectonucleotidases, which are vascular, immune and hepatic sinusoidal cell expressed ecto enzymes that hydrolyze extracellular nucleotides to adenosine and derivatives. CD39 family members are crucial in modulating inflammation and immune responses in the cardiovascular system, lungs and gastrointestinal tract and are highly relevant to inflammatory responses and innate immunity as in cancer.
