Welcome to the Henrickson Lab
Immune dysfunction in Allergic and Immunologic Disease
Taking on T cell dysfunction in chronic inflammation and primary immune deficiency by finding questions at the bedside and bringing them to the bench and back.
Our research
We focus on understanding the role of T cell dysfunction in chronic allergic and inflammatory disease, including asthma and obesity, as well as rare, monogenic primary immunodeficiency. To this end, the team uses complementary approaches in humans and mice, leveraging detailed immunophenotyping and metabolic characterization of immune dysfunction in patients to identify mechanistic hypotheses to test in mouse models and human cells in vitro.
