Robert Davey, Ph.D.

Adjunct Professor

Texas Biomedical Research Institute/ Boston University

Dr. Robert Davey joined the Texas Biomedical Research Institute in 2011, coming from the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston. Before that, he was at Harvard Medical School in Boston, where he was an instructor in medicine. Currently, Dr. Davey is the Ewing Halsell Scholar and Scientist at Texas Biomedical Research Institute department of Virology and Immunology. His recent work has been focused on identification of cellular factors important for establishing infection by filovirus and bunyaviruses. His work has culminated in a deeper understanding of the entry and cell signaling pathways that are used by these viruses to penetrate the cell membrane and establish infection. His recent work with Ebolavirus has been published in the high-impact journals PLoS Pathogens, PNAS and a new article on host factor dependence in Science that was featured on the cover page. Dr. Davey’s group works collaboratively with a number of groups providing sophisticated molecular biology and cell biology techniques for the study of pathogenic viruses including Ebolavirus for which the lab mainly works. He has developed high throughput screening techniques for Ebolavirus. He also performs contract work testing drugs and compounds for ebolavirus infection inhibition. His team is well trained in ABSL4 procedures and have been working with Ebolavirus since 2006.
