Dr. Jane Salmon is the Collette Kean Research Professor and Director of the Lupus and Antiphospholipid Center of Excellence at Hospital for Special Surgery. She is Professor of Medicine and Associate Dean, Faculty Affairs at Weill Cornell College of Medicine.
Dr. Salmon graduated magna cum laude from New York University and earned a medical degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University. She completed training in internal medicine at The New York Hospital and in rheumatology at Hospital for Special Surgery.
Dr. Salmon’s research has focused on elucidating mechanisms of tissue injury in lupus and other autoimmune diseases. Her basic, translational and clinical studies have led to a paradigm shift in the understanding of mechanisms of pregnancy loss, cardiovascular disease and end-organ damage in patients with lupus. Ground-breaking laboratory discoveries about causes of pregnancy loss and preeclampsia, and subsequent observational studies in women with lupus have allowed her to identify new targets to reduce damage and improve outcomes in patients with autoimmune illness.
In recognition of her contributions, she was awarded the Carol Nachman international prize in rheumatology, the Evelyn V. Hess Award from the Lupus Foundation of America, Master of the American College of Rheumatology, and election to the American Association of Physicians and to the National Academy of Medicine.
