Denise L. Faustman, MD — research (immunology)
Courtesy Denise L. Faustman, PhD, MD
At the laboratory she directs, Dr. Denise Faustman (b. 1958) and her colleagues investigate autoimmune diseases, with a specific focus on women patients. Dr. Faustman invented the concept of producing genetically engineered pigs as transplantation donors, identified two biological pathways that allow treatment of autoimmunity, and identified a new mutation that may explain some of the differences between the ways men and women experience the same diseases.
