Congratulations to Joseph Holoshitz, M.D., on your research innovation award!

Holoshitz received a Research Innovation for Scientific Knowledge (RISK) R33 Award to study a new mechanism of HLA-disease association in SLE

The new grant is based on data collected in the last two years, which allowed Dr. Holoshitz and his team to proceed to functional validation of a new theory.

The focus of this phase is on examining the functional roles of the new mechanism in mouse models of SLE, as well as early translational studies in human cells.
