Alice Chan, MD, PhD

Assistant Adjunct Professor

Diabetes Center

I'm a pediatric immunologist and rheumatologist dedicated to improving our understanding of immune regulation to advance care for patients with immune system disorders. My clinical practice is focused on diagnosing and managing patients with complex or unknown immune system disorders, and my research area is focused on studying genes that regulate the immune system. My current research project is focused on elucidating the function of a novel gene called Mosaic that causes immune dysregulation.
