Maurice O'Gorman, PhD, MSc, D(ABMLI), MBA
Dr. Maurice R. O'Gorman serves as the Chief of Laboratory Medicine, as well as the Director for the Clinical Lab and the Diagnostic Immunology and Flow Cytometry Laboratory. He is a Professor of Pathology and Pediatrics (Clinical Scholar) at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. Dr. O'Gorman provides ad hoc reviews for multiple journals, including Cytometry, Journal of Leukocyte Biology, Journal of Immunological Methods, Clinical and Diagnostic Laboratory Immunology, and Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.
Primarily focused on the diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of patients suspected of primary immunodeficiency disease, as well as the development of laboratory parameters associated with immuno-regulatory components in normal and abnormal immune responses associated with autoimmune and auto-inflammatory disease.
