After a brief introduction on the current experimental status of the Higgs boson, I will study the effect of new vector-like fermions on the gluon gluon -> h and h -> gamma gamma channels, in which the effect of new physics may be already showing up. In particular, I will  analyze colored and uncolored fermions in their smallest SU(2) representations, and the modifications to the previously mentioned channels in regions allowed by electroweak precision measurements.
