Dr. Troy R. Torgerson, MD

Troy R. Torgerson, MD, PhD, is attending physician at Seattle Childrens Hospital and assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He is co-director of the Immunology Diagnostic Laboratory within the Center for Immunity and Immunotherapies at Seattle Childrens Research Institute. He obtained his MD and PhD from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and completed residency training in pediatrics and a fellowship in pediatric rheumatology and immunology at the University of Washington. He participates in clinical care of patients with immune deficiency and autoimmune disorders at Seattle Childrens and coordinates care for patients treated by hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). He coordinates several joint clinical research protocols designed to optimize HSCT treatment in PIDD. Dr. Torgersons clinical interests include the diagnosis and management of children and adults with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDDs) …and children with autoimmune disorders. His bench research focuses on the identification of basic cellular mechanisms that promote both autoimmunity and immunodeficiency. His research laboratory studies the molecular basis of disease in two immunodeficiency disorders; Immune Dysregulation, Polyendocrinopathy, Enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome and Hyper-IgE syndrome. The genetic defects that cause these clinical syndromes alter the development of immune cells that either control immune responses (IPEX syndrome) or promote inflammation (Hyper-IgE syndrome).
