Research Fellowship

我是研究BAFF因子并发现它在自身免疫中的作用的首席科学家。BAFF抑制剂在治疗狼疮患者的晚期临床试验中是有效的。我们的新工作表明BAFF还有其他令人着迷的作用，特别是控制一些能够激活自身免疫和炎症反应的微生物的作用的能力。这项新工作正在引导我们开发全新一代的治疗自身免疫和炎症的疗法。

I am the leading scientist studying a factor named BAFF and discovered its role in autoimmunity. BAFF inhibitors are effective in late stage clinical trials treating lupus patients. Our new work shows that BAFF has other fascinating roles, in particular the ability to control effects from some microbes capable of activating autoimmune and inflammatory reactions. This new work is leading us to the development of an entirely new generation of therapeutics treating autoimmunity and inflammation.
