James Stafford is a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta. He holds a BSc in Medical Laboratory Sciences and a PhD in Physiology and Cell Biology from the University of Alberta. His postdoctoral research was conducted at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Stafford's research focuses on innate immunity, particularly the mechanisms of phagocytosis in vertebrates. He studies the role of immune cell types in recognizing and clearing pathogens, as well as the molecular components that regulate phagocytosis and its significance in immune responses. His work has implications for understanding immune mechanisms in teleost fishes, which possess diverse immune receptor types and robust responses against pathogens. Stafford has published extensively on topics related to immunogenetics and receptor-mediated signaling events in immune cells.
