During fellowship, Dr. Hanson pursued translational research and clinical immunology training by undertaking a project to better study and understand a rare genetic primary immunodeficiency called NEMO Syndrome.
His research has more recently focused on understanding biochemical and molecular mechanisms by which inflammatory disease is triggered and persists in a chronic state. In addition to ongoing genetic discovery research involving human subjects, his lab is developing several knock-in mouse models and in vitro model systems to investigate pathophysiology and novel therapeutic approaches to these diseases.
