September's featured Faculty Spotlight scientist is Kathleen Sullivan, MD, PhD.

Sullivan Laboratory

The Sullivan Lab has a broad interest in immune dysfunction. This can underlie susceptibility to infections and autoimmunity and inflammation. The investigators in the lab use cutting-edge approaches to investigate cause in individual patients and to look at population-wide causes of disease.

Hamilton Laboratory

The Hamilton Lab studies epithelial cells in the intestine and colon and the roles they play in maintaining human health.

Marcella Devoto, PhD; Judith Kelsen, MD; and colleagues are using technologies like whole exome sequencing to uncover the genetic basis of very early onset inflammatory bowel disease.

Judith R. Kelsen, MD

Dr. Kelsen’s research focus is on the genetic, immunologic, and microbiomic causes of very early onset inflammatory bowel disease. Through a multidisciplinary team approach, Dr. Kelsen and her colleagues perform genetic sequencing to identify causative genetic variants in children with VEO-IBD, study the function of these variants, and use this information to improve the clinical outcomes for these children.

Clinician-scientists at CHOP and Penn leverage their collective brainpower to narrow down the toughest of these tough diagnoses.

Kathleen E. Sullivan, MD, PhD

Dr. Sullivan's research focuses on new and rare immunodeficiencies. She has a long-standing interest in one of the most common of the primary immunodeficiencies – chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. She also investigates common variable immunodeficiency, as well as the genetics and epigenetics of systemic lupus erythematosus.
