Specializations

Autoimmune and Inflammatory Diseases

Sashka Zhelyazkova is involved in clinical research on rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, lupus nephritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, systemic sclerosis, and idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, with additional interest in broader immune-mediated disorders.

  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Systemic lupus erythematosus
  • Sjögren’s syndrome
  • Systemic sclerosis

Her clinical portfolio also includes conditions such as psoriatic arthritis, polymyositis, and dermatomyositis, reflecting sustained involvement in therapies for complex autoimmune disease.

Respiratory and Allergic Disorders

Her research activity includes asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and allergic rhinitis, with a clear therapeutic focus on airway inflammation and respiratory symptom control.

  • Asthma
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
  • Allergic rhinitis

She is also engaged in studies for house dust mite allergy, supporting research in allergic airway disease and related immunologic treatment strategies.

Gastroenterology and Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Her clinical trial involvement covers ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and broader inflammatory bowel disease, indicating a strong interest in therapies for chronic intestinal inflammation.

  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Moderately to severely active colitis

Her research landscape also includes treatment development for persistent gastrointestinal immune dysregulation, with attention to disease activity and symptom burden.

Neurology and Neuroimmunology

Sashka Zhelyazkova is active in studies of multiple sclerosis, relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, progressive multiple sclerosis, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, and upper limb spasticity after stroke or traumatic brain injury.

  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
  • Relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis
  • Post-stroke spasticity

Her research also includes migraine and other nervous system diseases, extending her therapeutic interest across inflammatory and symptomatic neurologic conditions.

Cardiometabolic and Vascular Medicine

Her trial involvement spans atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and obesity, reflecting a broad cardiometabolic research profile.

  • Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
  • Heart failure
  • Hypertension
  • Hypertriglyceridemia

She is also involved in research on high cardiovascular risk and resistant hypertension, supporting clinical innovation in vascular risk reduction and long-term cardiometabolic care.
