Joseph Linton Roberts is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Pediatrics at Duke University. His research interests center on T cell development and the molecular foundations of inherited immunodeficiency diseases. He employs standard candidate gene analysis methods alongside new high throughput genome-wide sequencing, bioinformatics, and functional screening using zebrafish and murine models in his work. He has reported new molecular etiologies for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and CD3 zeta chain deficiency. Additionally, Dr. Roberts collaborates with Dr. Wesley Burks to investigate changes in T cell transcription patterns during the treatment of peanut allergies utilizing genome-wide oligonucleotide microarrays.
