Dr. Dixon's research area includes understanding fish immunology and applying it to environmental problems such as climate change. The results of his research will not only help create vaccines and drugs for fisheries, but it will help us better understand ecosystems including the Great Lakes, and the evolution and function of similar immune-system molecules in mammals.
