Conditions we study
Plain-language pages on the conditions our physician practices research most. Each explains what the studies are like, who they may fit, and what happens after you enquire. Studies open and close on a rolling basis; the registry is the fastest way to hear when one matches.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a long-term condition where the immune system speeds up skin cell growth, causing raised, scaly, often itchy patches called plaques.
About psoriasis studies →Eczema (atopic dermatitis)
Eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, is a condition where the skin barrier does not hold moisture well and the immune system overreacts, causing dry, itchy, inflamed patches.
About eczema studies →Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Rheumatoid arthritis is a condition where the immune system attacks the lining of the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness, often worst in the morning.
About Rheumatoid arthritis studies →Gout
Gout is a form of arthritis caused by uric acid crystals forming in a joint, most famously the big toe.
About gout studies →Lupus (SLE)
Lupus is a condition where the immune system can affect many parts of the body at once, including joints, skin, kidneys, and energy levels.
