Scientific Focus
Research Interests
I am interested in understanding the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases. My research is focused on two directions: 1) to use mass spectrometry and c1q assay to identify immune complexes and the autoantigens incorporated in these compelxes; 2) to use protein microarray and statistical tools to discover new antigens or antigen profiles for several autoimmune diseases.
