Overall Description of Responsibility or Nature of Work
This position reports directly to Dr. Kristen Demoruelle in the Division of Rheumatology. Dr. Demoruelle's research program investigates the immunobiology of the lung in association with pulmonary fibrosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with a particular focus on neutrophil and macrophage dysregulation. This position will be responsible for independently designing and conducting experiments that will establish the effect of specific proteins of interest on various lung cells obtained from human subjects with RA-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). The project will focus on the effects of citrullinated proteins, bacterial proteins and cytokine signaling pathways that have been previously identified to be of interest based on Dr. Demoruelle's prior studies. Cells of interest include neutrophils, macrophages and fibroblasts from the lung. The project will primarily use induced sputum samples from human subjects and human-derived cell lines along with cell culture, cell staining, and ELISA techniques. The project will compare changes induced in different lung cells between RA patients with and without ILD.
