Robert N. Haire, Ph.D.
Dr. Haire received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 1988 and promptly joined the Department of Molecular Genetics at Tampa Bay Research Institute, St. Petersburg, Florida as a postdoctoral fellow. In 2001 he joined the Department of Molecular Genetics at All Children's Hospital, St. Petersburg as a postdoctoral fellow. In 1991 he joined the faculty at USF in the Department of Pediatrics as an Associate in Research and subsequently was promoted to Assistant Professor in 1994 and Associate Professor in 2006. Dr. Haire's major research interests are in developmental immunology.
