Anthony Shum, MD

Professor In Residence

M_MED-CORE-PULM

I run a laboratory-based basic-translational research program that lies at the intersection of autoimmunity and pulmonary disease. My work is focused on the study of clinical disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis that have important disease manifestations in the lung. The goal of my research program to understand the basic mechanisms that control how the lung functions both as an important immune target in autoimmune disorders and as a critical factor in precipitating or propagating autoimmune inflammation.

He serves as the lab manager and most importantly, fills in as the “hired gun” that is tasked with mastering the most difficult techniques and launching early projects forward.
