Specializations

Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases

The investigator’s work emphasizes the pathophysiology and therapeutic strategies for rheumatoid arthritis and related inflammatory joint disorders.

  • Upadacitinib in rheumatoid arthritis
  • Biologic agents for psoriatic arthritis
  • Targeted synthetic DMARDs in juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Clinical trials address disease activity, structural progression, and safety across diverse patient populations.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Lupus Nephritis

Research targets immune modulation in systemic lupus erythematosus and its renal manifestations.

  • Cenerimod for active SLE
  • Iptacopan in lupus nephritis
  • Deucravacitinib for moderate-to-severe SLE

Focus is on organ‑specific outcomes and biomarkers of therapeutic response.

Vasculitis and Related Syndromes

Investigations cover small to medium vessel inflammation such as Behçet’s syndrome and Sjögren’s syndrome.

  • Therapeutic approaches for antiphospholipid syndrome
  • Management of immune thrombocytopenia
  • Treatment strategies for immune‑mediated necrotizing myopathy

Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary care and long‑term organ protection.

Cardiovascular and Metabolic Comorbidities in Rheumatology

The investigator integrates cardiovascular risk reduction with rheumatic disease management, including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders.

  • Inclisiran for major adverse cardiovascular events
  • ARNI and SGLT2i initiation in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
  • Olezarsen for hypertriglyceridemia in patients with inflammatory disease

Trials evaluate the combined impact on cardiac outcomes and inflammatory burden.
