Kathleen E. Sullivan

Kathleen E. Sullivan is a Professor of Pediatrics (Allergy/Immunology) at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, affiliated with the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Her research focuses on the epigenetics of inflammation and primary immune deficiencies, particularly examining enhancer-promoter interactions in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) using techniques like ChIP-seq and RNA expression analysis.

Research Trends from her publications highlight: (1) epigenetic mechanisms in autoimmune diseases, (2) genetic basis of immune dysregulation, and (3) clinical-genomic correlations in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Her work bridges molecular immunology and pediatric clinical immunology.
