Richard Baxter

I am an Assistant Professor in Chemistry at Yale University. My laboratory is interested in the innate immune response of arthropods, especially the complement-like system in Anopheles gambiae, host-pathogen interactions, and the development of new chemical entities for the control of vector-borne disease. Our primary research tools are biophysical and structural analysis, biochemistry and chemical biology. Our approach is multi-disciplinary and interfaces with both cross-campus and international collaborators studying vector biology and infectious disease.
