I lead a research group that aims to understand the nature of the environmental signals that drive pathogenic B cell differentiation in rheumatic diseases of childhood and adolescence. We have a complementary work streams that aim to 1) better characterise pathogenic B cell subsets in juvenile idiopathic arthritis and its associated uveitis, 2) identify metabolic signals, such as those from the microbiota or diet, that have the capacity to impact B cell responses in these diseases and 3) examine how sex/gender can impact immunomodulatory metabolic signals in arthritis and lupus.
