Research Presentations from SJIA/ILD Conference

Here’s some more presentations from the Systemic JIA / ILD conference we helped organized at Stanford last month. These presentations go deeper into the cell biology than the previous set of presentations.

This presentation from Dr. James Hagood looked at epigenetics in pulmonary fibrosis, and suggested interesting new directions for epigenetic therapies.

This presentation from Dr. Sonye Danoff at Johns Hopkins gave a great talk on the molecular mechanisms of ILD in adult disease.

This presentation from Claudia Macaubas looked at mechanisms of inflamation (focusing on the cytokines IL-1B and IL-6)

The Systemic JIA Foundation is actively looking to support research projects involving SJIA. We have a special interest in: disease modeling of SJIA (animal models or human stem cell models), genetics, human biome, stem cell therapies, and translational research.
