Dr. Cooper is a Professor of Pediatrics at Washington University in St. Louis and Director of the Jeffrey Modell Diagnostic and Research Center for Primary Immunodeficiencies at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. She earned her MD/PhD from The Ohio State University and completed her training in Pediatrics and Rheumatology at Washington University and St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Dr. Cooper’s laboratory focuses on basic mechanisms of immune regulation. She investigates defects of the immune system that lead to pediatric autoimmunity and immune deficiency, using genetic sequencing to uncover novel molecular mechanisms of pediatric disease. Her laboratory also has an interest in mechanisms of NK cell activation, including long-term priming of NK cells for memory functions, and the influence of the metabolic microenvironment on NK cell function. Her clinical interests are in diseases of immune dysregulation, and she cares for patients in Pediatric Rheumatology and Immunology clinics, and she is the Director of Clinical Immunology at Washington University and St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
