Morna Dorsey, MD, MS

My research interests lie in three main focus areas:

1. Optimizing diagnosis and care of patients with primary immunodeficiency
2. Investigating the psychosocial impact of primary immunodeficiency on patients and families
3. Establishing treatment for patients with food allergy and eosinophilic disorders
