My research focuses on improving the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory rheumatic diseases, especially axial spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis. I study how to better detect early signs of inflammation using imaging tools and explore new treatment approaches that can slow down disease progression. I am also interested in understanding disease mechanisms and why some patients continue to have pain despite treatment and how we can better personalize therapy for them.
