Craig T. Lefort is an Associate Professor in the Department of Surgery at Brown University, specializing in research related to immunology and the innate immune response. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering from Columbia University, obtained in 2001, followed by a Ph.D. from the University of Rochester in 2007. His research focuses on neutrophils, a type of innate immune cell, and their role in inflammatory responses to infection and injury. Dr. Lefort's lab utilizes biophysical and molecular engineering methods to explore the mechanisms of neutrophil trafficking, with a particular interest in how these cells can become dysregulated during critical illness. He has received several grants for his research on neutrophil function during hemorrhagic shock and their ability to mount effective immune responses. Dr. Lefort has completed postdoctoral training and has affiliations with various research bodies, contributing significantly to the understanding of neutrophil behavior in pathological contexts.
