Henry Erlich is currently Emeritus at the Benioff UCSF Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute.(UCSF) His laboratory has been involved for over 35 years in the development and application of molecular genetic technology such as PCR and DNA-based HLA typing for the analysis of infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases. He has also focused on the development of diagnostic tests for monogenic disease as well as the application of PCR in forensics genetics, performing the first forensic DNA case in the US in 1986 (Penn. Vs. Pestinikas) and the first post-conviction review. His lab has applied HLA NGS systems to the analysis of cell free DNA in plasma for detecting donor DNA in recipient plasma for early detection of graft rejection. The lab has applied probe capture and NGS to analyze forensics mixtures with mitochondrial DNA, SNP, and STR markers and for analyzing fetal DNA in the maternal plasma for developing a non-invasive prenatal test for the hemoglobinopathies
