RHEUMATOLOGY Jessica R. Berman, MD HSS, Director of Resident and Visitor Rheumatology Education Email: bermanj@hss.edu Tel: (212) 774-7501 My research interests focus around my education interests and include: (1) the use of the OSCE-designed assessment tools in evaluating trainee patient-centered skills such as professionalism and interpersonal skills; and (2) the development of simulation and software tools for arthrocentesis teaching. In addition, I am conducting a retrospective chart review of SLE patients who have both SLE and gastrointestinal manifestations, in collaboration with Dr. Brian Landzberg. The primary aim is to correlate serologic markers of SLE and of measures of disease activity with particular types of GI manifestations, analyze which imaging studies are of greatest diagnostic utility, and assess which treatments have been used most successfully. Mary K. Crow, MD HSS, Mary Kirkland Center for Lupus Research Chief, Division of Rheumatology Email: crowm@hss.edu Tel: (212) 606‐1397 Our laboratory studies the mechanisms of induction of immune system activation in autoimmune diseases, with a particular focus on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Current projects focus on the genetic contributors to production of type I interferon in SLE and the effect of interferon on disease pathogenesis. Gene expression and proteomic data are related to longitudinal clinical data from carefully characterized patients to gain insights into disease mechanisms, identify biomarkers of lupus flare, and identify targets for therapy. Doruk Erkan, MD HSS, Division of Rheumatology Barbara Volcker Center for Women with Rheumatic Diseases Email: erkand@hss.edu Tel: (212) 774-2291 I am a clinical researcher with a special interest in antiphospholipid syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus. I am involved in multiple investigator- or pharmaceutical company-initiated clinical trials. In addition, there are multiple projects (e.g., case report, retrospective cohort analysis, database/registry analysis) in which residents can be involved. Recent Residents Mentored: Medha Barbhaiya, Jessica Furst, Annie Garment, Lindsay Lally Steven R. Goldring, MD HSS, Chief Scientific Officer and St. Giles Chair Professor of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College Email: goldrings@hss.edu Tel: (212) 774-7554 Our laboratory studies the mechanisms by which bone remodeling is de-regulated in inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and in orthopaedic conditions associated with bone loss. We study 38
new molecular targets and novel therapeutic approaches for early detection of sites of pathological bone loss and for preventing bone destruction in inflammatory conditions and related disorders of bone remodeling. Susan M Goodman, MD HSS, Rheumatologist Email: goodmans@hss.edu Tel: (212) 606-1163 The goal of my current research is to understand the outcomes and adverse events of arthroplasty in rheumatic disease patients undergoing joint replacement surgery. This research has been conducted using our hospital arthroplasty registry, which we have queried to provide data for analysis. Studies have assessed the effect of pregnancy on arthroplasty function, performed with Dr. Lindsy Lally. The study was begun while she was a resident and will be completed during her fellowship here at HSS. Dr. Ummarah Shah began her study of outcomes and adverse events in SLE patients undergoing arthroplasty while a resident at NYH and is completing her study this spring. Other studies are addressing outcomes of patients with RA, inflammatory muscle disease, and obesity. Recent Residents and Fellows Mentored: Lindsay Lally, Ummarah Shah Jessica Gordon, MD, MSc HSS, Assistant Attending Physician Weill Cornell Medical College, Instructor in Medicine Email: gordonj@hss.edu Tel: (212) 606-1173 I would be pleased to mentor residents. My research interests include scleroderma clinical trials and gene expression profiling. Lionel Ivashkiv, MD HSS, Director of Basic Research David H. Koch Chair in Arthritis and Tissue Degeneration Email: ivashkivl@hss.edu Tel: (212) 606-1653 Our laboratory is interested in the differentiation, function, and activation of macrophages, dendritic cells, and osteoclasts that are important in innate immunity and autoimmune/inflammatory diseases. The laboratory takes an integrated bench-to-bedside approach and studies signal transduction defects in defined in vitro systems using purified cells, in animal models of arthritis, lupus, and osteolysis, and in human disease samples. Recently, we have extended our approaches to include investigation of gene regulation and epigentics, especially how chromatin modulates signaling to regulate inflammatory cytokine production. Recent Residents Mentored: Soumya Chakravarty Kyriakos Kirou, MD HSS, Mary Kirkland Center for Lupus Care Email: kirouk@hss.edu Tel: (212) 606-1718 My research focuses on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and related diseases. We are trying to develop biomarkers of disease activity and severity by careful examination of clinical and research data in 39
