Background
Dr. Saini joined faculty of the Division of Allergy & Clinical Immunology immediately following his fellowship in 1997. He has served as the principal investigator and co-investigator for basic and translational studies examining the role of IgE receptor expression and activation in allergic airways disease, anaphylaxis, and chronic urticaria. His research has been supported by the NIH, American Lung Association, and the AAAAI. He is the Program Director for our allergy and immunology fellowship program since 2008.

Sarbjit Saini Lab
- The research in the Sarbjit Saini Laboratory focuses on IgE receptor biology and IgE receptor-mediated activation of blood basophils and mast cells. We have examined the role of IgE receptor expression and activation in allergic airways disease, anaphylaxis and chronic urticaria. Our research has been supported by the NIH, American Lung Association and the AAAAI. Our current research interests have focused mechanisms of diease in allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis and also translational studies in chronic idiopathic urticaria.
Research Summary
My research has focused on the IgE receptor activation of human basophils and mast cells. My early work focused on the mechanisms of IgE receptor regulation and I have led several translational studies in allergic subjects to better understand the role of allergen specific IgE. My recent studies focus on the mechanisms underlying chronic urticaria, where we found altered IgE-receptor signaling related to the phenotype of mast cells and basophils.

I was referred by my former specialist in New Jersey. This was my first visit with Dr. Saini. He reviewed my file before my appointment. He spent a good amount of time reviewing my medical history, prior care, and outlining new care. I believe I am in good hands.
