| Mission: | The Center for Orphaned Autoimmune Disorders (COAD) is focused on three primary areas: Clinical service, professional and patient education, and clinical and translational research. With a multi-disciplinary clinical staff (rheumatology, ophthalmology, nephrology, pulmonology, oral medicine, etc.) patients can receive prompt diagnosis and coordinated centralized treatment. Ongoing basic science, translational, and clinical research facilitate understanding of the destructive nature of these disorders. Development of an animal model for Sjogren's syndrome is internationally recognized. |
