Research Synopsis
The central theme of my research program is to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms governing autoimmunity towards discovery of molecular tools for improved disease diagnosis, treatment, outcomes and prevention. Specifically, I study the mechanisms responsible for initiating and sustaining the immune response in autoimmunity with a focus on rare diseases of childhood, including Kawasaki Disease (KD)/Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome of Childhood (MIS-C) and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), and pandemic preparedness.
