Basic research Interests:  
The overall emphasis of research is in human T,B and NK cell development and in aberrations in their development and regulation. The work involves three particular areas of investigation:
1) the cellular and molecular bases of genetically-determined human immunodeficiency diseases,
2) the use of hematopoietic stem cells to cure genetically-determined immunodeficiency diseases and
3) the use of hematopoietic stem cell chimeras to study human thymic education, T and B cell reconstruction.

Specialty
Primary immunodeficiency disorders, recurrent infections, pediatrics

Clinical research interests:

Recurrent infections, primary immunodeficiency, immune reconstruction after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and allergic diseases (including asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, urticaria)
