| A traditional area of strength, basic research in the
Rheumatology Division focuses on analysis of the immune
system. Faculty interests include inflammation,
complement, proteases, lymphocyte development, signal
transduction, natural killer cell biology, innate immune
responses, and host-pathogen relationships. Please see
a brief synopsis of individual faculty interests below
that are described in greater detail at their linked
sites.
