Research Interests:
Our lab studies the molecular mechanisms of and develops therapies to treat autoimmune and rheumatic diseases, with a focus on rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, multiple sclerosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus.
The overriding objectives of our laboratory are:
1) To investigate the mechanisms underlying autoimmune diseases.
2) To develop novel diagnostics and therapeutics for autoimmune and rheumatic diseases.
3) To investigate the role of innate immune inflammation in osteoarthritis.
We perform translational research, with the goal of rapidly converting discoveries made at the bench into practical patient care tools and therapies.
