- Research Description
-
My primary research interests include understanding how children develop autoimmunity and why they are at higher risk of infections compared to other children. My laboratory uses expertise in genetic testing and immunophenotyping to help in diagnosis of patients in a direct translational effort to help children. We also enroll families in our immune disorders biorepository study to test samples to further our understanding of these immune disorders. For a select group of genetic disorders, we have made animal models to mimic the human disorder with the ultimate goal of understanding the diseases at a mechanistic level and developing translational therapies to treat these disorders.
