RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Professor Richard Stephens has dedicated over 35 years of his service and research to understand the basis of immunity, pathogenesis, and virulence of the obligate intracellular pathogen Chlamydia. He began his graduate studies concerning chlamydial epidemiology and biology and this remains a life-long career commitment. The molecular interactions of the parasite and the host are defined both in the context of specific microbe-cell interactions and in relation to host responses. He serves as the Chair of the graduate program in Infectious Disease and Immunity at the Berkeley campus and has trained over 35 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
