Assoc Prof of Clin Pediatrics
M_PEDS-ALLERGY IMMUNOLOGY
I'm a pediatric immunologist and rheumatologist dedicated to improving our understanding of immune regulation to advance care for patients with immune system disorders. My clinical practice is focused on diagnosing and managing patients with complex or unknown immune system disorders. My research area is focused on studying genes that regulate the immune system. We utilize CRISPR/Cas9 to generate mouse models harboring human mutations to help elucidate the molecular mechanism driving disease.
