New work online by our URRCI researchers! Center for Translational Immunology

Now published online Rheumatology & Rheumatology Advances in Practice our latest research on proteomics in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, revealing a shared serum proteomic signature (academic.oup.com/rheumatology/a…). #psoriaticskin #psoriaticarthritis #psoriasis

Nice collaborative effort between clinical & computational researchers to study molecular signatures before the start of anti-TNF therapies and predict how patients will respond to the therapy. UMC Utrecht Center for Translational Immunology @UMCURRCI #bigdata #immunology #computationalbiology

Today three URRCI PhD students are defending their thesis Utrecht University. Tessa van Kempen is the first to defend her thesis titled: Tackling the Achilles heel of spondyloarthritis - Is it an autoinflammatory or autoimmune disease? uu.nl/agenda/promoti… #SpA #UMCU #CTI

Our second URRCI doctor-to-be today Utrecht University Maarten van der Kroef will defend his thesis titled: Exploring the role of monocyte dysregulation in the pathogenesis of Systemic Sclerosis uu.nl/agenda/promoti…. Center for Translational Immunology UMC Utrecht Infection & Immunity UMC Utrecht

Last but not least: Eefje Otten - van der Heijden wil defend her thesis Utrecht University titled: Repurposing established drugs for new indications: leflunomide and hydroxychloroquine combination therapy for Sjögren’ uu.nl/agenda/promoti… #UMCU #CTI #Sjögren

Great to see that our department @UMCURRCI was part of this nice event and could add our expertise #hackathon UMC Utrecht

Utrecht Research Rheumatology & Clinical Immunology (URRCI) UMC Utrecht wishes you a Merry Christmas and a good 2021!

Proud of URRCI research by Emmerik Leijten now accepted for publication at Arthritis & Rheumatology ACR_Journals. To be online soon: "Tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells from skin differentiate psoriatic arthritis from psoriasis" #psoriasis #arthritis Center for Translational Immunology UMC Utrecht

An update on our TOFA-PREDICT clinical trial UMC Utrecht, that studies the prediction of therapy response in psoriatic arthritis using multi-omics. We are on our way to including patient no. 40!

Rheumatologists should better distinguish between disease phenotypes in #osteoarthritis, as it may contribute to the development of personalized drugs for OA patients, concluded Eefje van Helvoort UMC Utrecht in her PhD thesis that she defended today edu.nl/yh4cp
