Lisa Robinson, MD, FRCSC
Dr. Lisa Robinson is the Division Chief of Nephrology at The Hospital for Sick Children, a Senior Scientist at the Research Institute at The Hospital for Sick Children, and a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Toronto. Her research actively explores the mechanisms whereby chemokines modulate not only recruitment of leukocytes into sites of inflammation, but also the immune functions of leukocytes bearing the corresponding chemokine receptors. A complementary line of research focuses on the body’s natural anti-migration signals that can be harnessed to prevent excessive inflammation.
