RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Nagarsheth joined the ID-CTP as a Staff Scientist in 2021. She studies immune deficiencies (such as DOCK8, WAS, and various types of SCID disorders) and develops effective treatments, which include tailored cellular therapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplant. She examines immune cell crosstalk, functionality, and reconstitution over time after treatment, with the goal of improving treatment for these disorders. Her research also focuses on understanding basic immune cell function and biology through studying these deficiencies.
