Professor of Microbiology and Immunology (Baxter Labs) and of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Jackson’s lab studies how primary cilia organize hormone, metabolite, and growth factor signaling in metabolic tissues and how their disruption causes obesity and diabetes. A second focus is defining the KRAS driven secreted factor networks that rewire the tumor microenvironment in lung and pancreatic cancers to promote immune evasion and therapeutic resistance. This work is revealing new secreted drug targets and combination strategies for precision oncology and metabolic disease.
