Award for research on B cell responses in autoimmune diseases using single cell sequencing to study epigenetic and transcriptomic changes pre- and post-biologic therapy.
Description
This project involves comprehensive single cell sequencing to analyze B cell responses in SLE and autoimmune diseases, focusing on epigenetic and transcriptomic profiling pre- and post-therapy with biologics such as Anifrolumab and Belimumab. The goal is to understand the resetting of epigenetic features to a healthy state and define gene pathways and transcription factor networks involved.
