The overarching hypothesis of Dr. Kuhn’s research program is that specific microbe-mucosal interactions influence the generation of systemic inflammation and the development of spondyloarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. This pathogenic process develops through stimulation of locally-generated proteins, metabolites, or cells in the correct genetic setting. Microbial dysbiosis occurs in new onset seropositive rheumatoid arthritis and in established spondyloarthritis; however, the causal relationship between microbiota and disease is unknown. Dr. Kuhn’s lab aims to identify these causal relationships to understand disease pathogenesis and to reveal novel treatment targets in these diseases.
