Research

The goal of our research program is to understand these diseases sufficiently to develop rational therapies. We see and care for patients with inflammatory myopathies and have research laboratories at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Children’s Hospital Boston. Over 350 patients have enrolled in our research studies to better understand their diseases. We are funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and the Sporadic Inclusion Body Myositis Research Foundation.
