Welcome to the IBM Research Project
We are a research group dedicated to understanding and finding treatment for sporadic inclusion body myositis (s-IBM) and other inflammatory myopathies. We are a multidisciplinary group, part of the Brigham and Women's Hospital, Department of Neurology, Division of Neuromuscular Disease, Harvard Medical School; the Children's Hospital Informatics Program; and the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology.
Our research group studies the diseases called inflammatory myopathies. The main diseases in this group are inclusion body myositis, dermatomyositis, and polymyositis. We have dedicated research projects for these diseases individually and as a whole. You can learn more here about our specific efforts for inclusion body myositis.
This web site contains extensive information about these diseases, data generated in our studies, and descriptions of our research projects. If this work interests you, please feel free to contact us or contribute to our efforts.
