Specializations

Inflammatory Rheumatic Diseases

Clinical research in rheumatology centered on rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and axial spondyloarthritis, with attention to treatment adjustment in patients with controlled disease activity.

  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Psoriatic arthritis
  • Axial spondyloarthritis

Interest includes JAK inhibitor dose reduction, tocilizumab optimization, and disease activity-guided treatment strategies in chronic inflammatory joint disease.

Polymyalgia Rheumatica

Research activity in polymyalgia rheumatica focuses on relapse prevention and treatment refinement, including biologic approaches aimed at reducing glucocorticoid exposure.

  • Relapsing polymyalgia rheumatica
  • Newly diagnosed polymyalgia rheumatica

The therapeutic focus includes rituximab as a steroid-sparing option in both relapsing and newly diagnosed disease.

Osteoarthritis and Pain Management

Clinical interests extend to osteoarthritis, especially hand osteoarthritis and large-joint disease affecting the knee and hip, with emphasis on pain relief and progression-related outcomes.

  • Hand osteoarthritis
  • Knee osteoarthritis
  • Hip osteoarthritis

Therapeutic areas include intramuscular methylprednisolone for hand pain and colchicine for symptomatic and structural management of degenerative joint disease.

Gout

Research in gout is directed toward remission-oriented care and long-term disease control, with interest in treatment strategies that integrate symptom control and cost-effectiveness.

  • Gout remission
  • Treat-to-target

The focus includes clinical endpoints linked to flare reduction, pain control, and sustained disease quiescence.

Prosthetic Joint Infection

Work in prosthetic joint infection centers on antimicrobial strategies for infected joint prostheses, with attention to oral treatment options in staphylococcal infection.

  • Infected joint prostheses
  • Staphylococcal infection

Therapeutic interest includes clindamycin as a targeted monotherapy approach within orthopedic infection care.
