Identifying Endothelial Determinants of Lung Damage in Scleroderma Patients
FY 2009-10
Summary
The goal of this project is to use statistical methods to find relationships between the clinically measured levels of certain substances circulating in the bloodstream and the presence or absence of lung damage in patients with scleroderma. It is hoped that an interdisciplinary group including biochemists and medical doctors will find from this proposed research some insights into links between the clinically measured factors included in the study and the occurrence of lung damage in scleroderma patients. Improvements in knowledge could lead to novel drug treatments for patients with scleroderma. It is also hoped that the statistical method developed in this proposed project will be applicable in future research aimed at further studying this and other diseases.
