Speaker bio: Dr. Clinton Robbins
Dr. Clinton Robbins is a Professor in the Departments of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology and Immunology at the University of Toronto and a Senior Scientist at the University Health Network Research Institute. He holds a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Cardiovascular Immunology and is the Peter Munk Chair in Aortic Disease Research.
He earned his PhD at McMaster University and completed postdoctoral training at the University of Pittsburgh and Harvard Medical School.
His research explores how monocytes and macrophages are maintained in tissues and how they contribute to cardiovascular disease. His work has helped establish the importance of macrophage proliferation in atherosclerosis, identified bone marrow niches that sustain monocytes, and revealed how endothelial dysfunction and plaque macrophages drive abdominal aortic aneurysm formation.
