About us
Based on genetic studies we know microbial signaling molecules control development of arthritis, uveitis and spondyloarthritis in humans. Our lab is interested in understanding this intersection between microbes and autoimmunity as a means to learn more about the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases and contribute novel drug targets for future therapies. To learn more about how we are asking these questions see the Napier lab projects!
