Taylor A. Doherty MD

Dr. Taylor A. Doherty is a Professor of Medicine and Interim Co-chief, Allergy and Immunology at UC San Diego, Division of Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology. His studies have led to high-impact publications in the fields of asthma, airway remodeling, aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD), and group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) biology.

Dr. Doherty’s initial research identified novel therapeutic targets for the airway inflammation and remodeling that occur in chronic asthma pathology.  The Doherty lab has since developed a focus on innate type 2 lung responses that contribute to asthma and allergic airway disease.  We have identified novel mechanisms that regulate group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) using animal models and human samples.
