Fatima Dhalla
Postdoctoral Researcher
Dr Fatima Dhalla is a consultant clinical immunologist and senior postdoctoral scientist in Developmental Immunology Group in the Institute of Developmental and Regenerative Medicine. Her clinical work focuses on patients with inborn errors of immunity and diagnostic laboratory immunology, and fuels research projects that set out to define the genetic causes, develop diagnostic tests and establish best treatment practices and for patients with rare and undefined inborn errors of immunity. Her primary research focus lies in thymic stromal cell biology from fundamental aspects of their development, function and maintenance to more translational studies including models of human congenital thymic defects, thymic involution, and strategies to rejuvenate or boost the function of the thymus. She also has significant teaching responsibilities, including for the MSc in Integrated Immunology and PGCert/Dip/MSc in Paediatric Infectious Diseases.
