Inflammation & Immunology: Treatment at the Molecular Level
Inflammation is a biological response to potential danger or damage to organs in our bodies. But with autoimmune diseases such as alopecia areata, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and many others, our own immune system becomes dysregulated and turns against our organs.1
These conditions may be painful and debilitating and can take an immense toll on people’s quality of life. 
Our scientists are focused on three specific areas: rheumatology, gastroenterology, and medical dermatology. Our innovation in the short term is to enable patients to thrive in remission through new immunosuppressives, and in the future improve our understanding of how to promote the restoration of the immune system and tissue health.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic, autoimmune disease that causes pain, inflammation, and swelling in the joints. This joint disease develops when a malfunctioning immune system attacks healthy joint tissues. Although there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, early treatment can put the disease into remission.2
