Autoimmune diseases arise from the body reacting to and attacking itself. My PhD has been focused on auto immune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, cancer and psoriasis and understanding the role fat molecules play in the establishment of these diseases. In understanding the how fats are involved in the establishment of autoimmune diseases we can begin to develop better therapeutics to either aid in the treatment of these diseases or even prevent their development.
