Bio
Dr. Hogan completed his PhD at the John Curtin School of Medical Research at the Australian National University, Canberra defining the contribution of IL-5, eosinophils and CD4+ T cell–derived IL-4–dependent and –independent pathways to the induction of the asthma phenotype.
After completion of his PhD, he was awarded the prestigious Australian NHMRC CJ Martin postdoctoral fellowship to study eosinophil-associated allergic gastrointestinal diseases under the tutelage of Professors Paul S. Foster at the University of Newcastle and Marc E. Rothenberg at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. In 2004, he was appointed to the faculty within the Division of Allergy and Immunology at Cincinnati Children’s, University of Cincinnati, where he developed an NIH-funded research program focused on delineating interactions at the immune-gastrointestinal epithelial interface under homeostasis and how alterations in these interactions can predispose individuals to and modulate food-induced anaphylactic reactions.
In 2018, he was appointed the Askwith Research Professor of Food Allergy at the Mary H. Weiser Food Allergy Center (MHWFAC) and a Tenured Professor in the Department of Pathology at the University of Michigan Medical School. Currently, his laboratory utilizes systems-level approaches in patient cohorts with gastrointestinal conditions. It employs advanced tools, methods, and platforms to define interactions between immunological elements and pathognomonic symptoms of disease.
