The commitment to exceptional patient care begins with revolutionary discovery.

The Division of Rheumatology at UH Case Medical Center is devoted to discovering new solutions for patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and related rheumatic disorders. The clinical research program’s cornerstones are investigations on cartilage and chondrocytes biology, autoimmunity and T-cell biology, as well as animal models of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The group also conducts innovative clinical research in the modulation of immune response by dietary constituents and, in collaboration with the Case Western Reserve University School of Dentistry, on the relationship between periodontal disease and rheumatoid arthritis. The Division of Rheumatology has published 66 papers in refereed journals since 2009.
