William Parker, PhD is an Associate Professor of Surgery at Duke University School of Medicine. His research interests include the promicrobial aspects of the immune system and investigating the immunological differences between laboratory-raised and wild-raised animals as a probe for differences between humans with and without modern medical care, respectively.
