Dr. Assassi attended the CONQUER Investigators Capillaroscopy Workshop in Nashville. Many thanks to Dr. Tracy Frech for organizing this event. #scleroderma
Dr. Yvette Farran (2nd year fellow) challenging the rheumatology crowd with an unusual case of Takayasu's disease at the Thieves Market session during the ACR Convergence Meeting 2022.
Proud of Nancy Wareing (MD/PhD candidate) who gave a wonderful presentation on long-term blood gene expression changes in scleroderma patients undergoing myeloablation followed by autologous stem cell transplantation at the ACR Convergence Meeting 2022
Longitudinal global transcriptomic profiling of preclinical scleroderma https://t.co/9m7gaOIzPU
Congrats to Drs. Bellocchi, Beretta, and Assassi on publishing the first global gene expression profiling study of preclinical systemic sclerosis

Congrats to Drs. Skaug and Lam on publishing the largest case series on individuals with false positive Scl-70 results - This real life experience underscores the importance of accurate antibody testing in rheumatology. https://t.co/fcAUJanb9m
Peripheral blood gene expression profiling can help identify systemic sclerosis-ILD patients who are likely responders to mycophenolate - Dr. Assassi and colleagues' recently published manuscript in ARD:

Our immense gratitude to Dr. Jammie Barnes for her service as UTHealth Rheumatology Program Director (2016-21). Excited to welcome Dr. Courtney McCray as our next Program Director. She will take our fellowship program to new heights.
@UTHealthRheum would like to welcome Yvette Farran, Amy Le, and Karim Doughem to our fellowship program. We are excited to have matched such a talented group of fellows! @McGovernMed@UTHealthHouston
Our study on characterization of systemic sclerosis serum protein profile and cross-comparison to peripheral blood cell transcriptome: Differential expression for most serum proteins in SSc is likely to originate outside the peripheral blood cells.
