Sjögren’s Syndrome

Multiple OMRF laboratories are using powerful, cutting-edge technologies to gain new insight into a variety of autoimmune diseases. Major goals of our Sjögren’s studies include understanding how genes, environment and specific molecular pathways contribute to this disease.  This research will provide valuable knowledge about Sjögren’s syndrome that may lead to the development of improved diagnostic tests and therapeutic options for individuals with this common and debilitating autoimmune disease. Our clinical research groups are focusing on understanding the clinical, demographic, biomarker and genomic heterogeneity of Sjögren’s patients, as well as also providing clinical trial options to Sjögren’s patients.
