Robert A. Clark is Professor of Medicine, University of Texas, San Antonio. Professor Clark leads an active basic science and translational research program with a focus on mechanisms of the inflammatory response and the cell biology and biochemistry of human phagocytic cells. His group has made seminal contributions to the fundamental understanding of the generation of reactive oxygen species by the phagocyte NADPH oxidase system and the genetics and biochemistry of NADPH oxidase deficiency in the inherited disorder chronic granulomatous disease. In recent years he has turned his attention to the structure, function, and physiologic role of the non-myeloid members of the NOX gene family and to the role of reactive oxygen species in aging and neurodegeneration.
