La dottoressa Erica Valencic, BSc, PhD, è ricercatrice presso il Laboratorio di Pediatria dell'Istituto Materno Infantile, IRCCS Burlo Garofolo, a Trieste.
Ha una consolidata esperienza nel campo della ricerca traslazionale in immunopatologia, documentata da pubblicazioni peer reviewed. Si è da sempre occupata della caratterizzazione funzionale dei difetti congeniti dell’immunità grazie alla sua esperienza di immunobiologia, immunogenetica, analisi delle sottopopolazioni linfocitarie e citometria a flusso. Il suo H-index è 14 (Google Scholar).
Gli attuali temi di ricerca: patogenesi dei difetti congeniti dell’immunità tra cui le immunodeficienze e le malattie autoimmuni, autoinfiammatorie e disregolatorie.
