Research Focus

Our lab is focused on improving the treatment and detection of autoimmune rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and systemic sclerosis (SSc). Our research encompasses the following approaches:

  1. Pharmacoepidemiology, focused on the comparative safety of medications used to treat rheumatic diseases
  2. Pharmacogenomics, with an emphasis on immunosuppressant agents and oral anticoagulants
  3. Clinical research, focused on understanding and addressing cardiovascular outcomes, environmental exposures, and other factors affecting people with rheumatic diseases
  4. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, with an emphasis on developing and implementing predictive models for rheumatic diseases
