The Duke Divisionof Rheumatologyhas a rich history of excellence in all three of our missionspatient care, research, and education. The division continues that tradition of excellence today, with faculty members developing new therapies, offering state-of-the-art care, transforming rheumatology education, and leading national and international organizations.

With additional faculty members and nurse practitioners, and the opening of a rheumatology and infusion clinic at Brier Creek in Raleigh, the division is improving patient access and refining the management of complex diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma, gout, and others.

As the Clinical Lead for the Division, Megan Clowse, MD, MPH, associate professor of medicine, said, We are currently recruiting new doctors to Duke rheumatology with the vision of a robust and enthusiastic and happy cohort of physicians addressing the rheumatology diseases of the Triangle and North Carolina, with easily accessible comprehensive rheumatalogic care that is at the level of Dukes reputation, as well as compassionate, state-of-the-art, and evidence-based.

Since its inception in 1910, the Department of Pathology & Immunology has had combined excellence in research, training, and clinical service. Our conviction that basic science research leads to exceptional training and high-quality clinical service has made our department a vital bridge between the basic sciences and other clinical disciplines at Washington University. We are a vital and ever-evolving group of scholars dedicated to human pathobiology and the care of those afflicted with disease.

The Department of Microbiology and Immunology is pleasedrecognize graduate student, EricDunham of theBoyd Lab, whohas recently been selected for the highly competitiveNational Science FoundationGraduate Research Fellowship. Eric, who studiesthe role of hydrogen in supporting subglacial microbial communities, has traveled to Icelandto collected sediments from beneath four glaciers. The NSF fellowship will allow him to conduct a second round of experiments on the microorganisms that live without oxygen and are isolated from sunlight in those sediments.

Eric, who is entering his third year as a Ph.D. candidate under the mentorship of Dr. Eric Boyd, is a Montana native who grew up in Billings andgraduated in 2013 from the University of Montana with a double major in cell and molecular biology and biochemistry. Before coming to MSU Eric worked for two yearson a post-baccalaureate research fellowship with the NIH at the Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, MTstudying the Ebola virus.

Immunology is the study of the immune system. The immune system protects us from infection through various lines of defense. Molecular and cellular components make up the immune system. The function of these components is divided into non specific mechanisms, those which innate to an organism, and responsive responses which are adaptive to specific pathogens. Fundamental or classical immunology involves studying the components that make up the innate and adaptive immune system.

Innate immunity is the first line of defense and is non-specific that is the responses that are the same for all potential pathogens, no matter how different they maybe. Innate immunity includes physical barriers( e.g. skin, saliva etc) and cells (e.g. macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, mast cells etc). These components are ready to go and protect an organisms for the first few days of infection. Adaptive immunity is the second line of defense which involves building up memory of encountered response specific to the pathogen or foreign substance.

Adaptive immunity involves antibodies, which generally target foregin pathogens roaming free in the bloodstream. Also involved are T-cells, which are directed especially towards pathogens that have colonized cells and can directly kill infected cells or help control the antibody response.

Immunology is the discipline of biology that examines the mechanisms of host defense against pathogenic agents. The study of the immune system offers a unique opportunity to analyze a complex multicomponent system consisting of molecules and cells that have documented physiologic relevance. Immunology has a strong foundation in biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology.

Washington University School of Medicine has a large community of investigators who make immunology their primary focus. The research within our program spans a broad spectrum, ranging from studies at the basic structural and molecular levels of host defense all the way to clinical applications directed at significant health problems, such as cancer immunotherapy. The Program in Immunology has grown to include more than 50 research laboratories and the number continues to increase. This unusual concentration of immunologists was the stimulus that led to the formation of a separate Graduate Program in Immunology in 1986.

Clinical and Vaccine Immunology (CVI) published articles that enhanced the understanding of the immune response in health and disease and after vaccination by showcasing discoveries in clinical, laboratory, and vaccine immunology.

As of January 2018, research in this area is published by ASM's multi-disciplinary, open access journal mSphere.

SMIs aim is to bridge the gap between the high quality immunology presented at meetings such as AAI, and the high quality clinical specialty meetings (DDW, ATS, FOCIS) to provide a forum where people interested in immunology at mucosal surfaces can share ideas.

The perks of a SMI membership will allow you to collaborate and grow as an immunologist. SMI membership benefits include:
