Medical scientists don’t really understand why the most common and most serious type of lupus develops or persists in people. But they are beginning to learn more through a branch of biology called immunometabolism. Andras Perl, MD, PhD, a distinguished professor of medicine at Upstate and also the chief of rheumatology, and Marlene Marte, MD, who is in her second year of fellowship training in rheumatology at Upstate, explain what they're learning about how lupus develops in this episode of "The Informed Patient."
“The Informed Patient” is a podcast that covers health, science and medicine, featuring experts from Central New York’s only academic medical center. Upstate Medical University has four colleges (Medicine, Nursing, Health Professions and Graduate Studies); a robust research enterprise; and an extensive clinical health care system that extends way beyond Syracuse.
