Henrickson Laboratory
The Henrickson Lab is focused 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. The team uses complementary approaches in humans and animal models, leveraging detailed immunophenotyping and metabolic characterization of immune dysfunction in patients to identify mechanistic hypotheses to work with animal models and human cells in vitro.
Leader
Sarah E. Henrickson, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor
Dr. Henrickson investigates the mechanisms of T cell dysfunction in monogenic primary immunodeficiency and chronic inflammatory disease, including asthma and obesity, and primary immunodeficiency.
Dr. Sarah Henrickson identified a newborn’s immunodeficiency in 2015, and an international team characterized the rare disease this year.
