The Gulko Lab works on identifying new genes involved in the regulation of arthritis severity and joint damage. These new genes have the potential to become new prognostic biomarkers and new targets for more effective therapies for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and other autoimmune diseases.
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.
