Infectious Diseases Susceptibility Program
The Infectious Disease Susceptibility Program is the only internationally-recognized translational research program on Inborn Errors of Immunity (also called Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders) at the MUHC.
This program studies patients who are unusually susceptible to infections, so as to identify the genetic or molecular defects in their immune system that renders them susceptible to these infections, and to translate those findings into new treatments.
The clinic receives referrals to evaluate patients for underlying immunodeficiencies, focusing primarily on patients with recurrent infections, infections with unusual organisms, or unusually severe infections.

MUHC Director: Dr. Marcel Behr
