Robert L Hunter is Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at z in Houston. His interest in TB began in medical school at the University of Chicago where he received his MD and PhD degrees. He has published over 200 scientific papers many of them on the biological activities of mycobacterial lipids. Alerted by inconsistencies in the literature, he spent over 10 years looking for and reviewing slides and publications on the early stages of untreated human pulmonary TB. This eventually resulted in discovery of a new parading for the pathogenesis of TB.
