Dr. Panipinto's research at the NIH focuses on systemic juvenile arthritis and adult-onset Still's disease. His particular interest is innate immunity and mechanisms of inflammation in rare genetic disease variants.

Jacqueline Saulnier is a Post-Baccalaureate Fellow in the Colbert Lab, where she helps advance our understanding of the mechanisms of pathogenicity of HLA-B27, an immunological protein closely associated with types of spondyloarthritides.

Dr. Nagashima studies the molecular mechanisms of transcriptional regulation of lymphocytes. His research focuses on type 2 lymphocytes involved in host defense against parasites and allergic disorders such as asthma and atopic dermatitis.

Dr. Kim is a postdoctoral visiting fellow in the Cutaneous Leukocyte Biology Section at NIAMS. Her research focuses on the developmental stage-dependent phenotypes of ILCs and their roles in skin health and dermatological diseases.

Clare Grady, M.D., works in the NIAMS Systemic Autoimmunity Branch under Dr. Kaplan, investigating the pathophysiology of facet joint osteoarthritis in the lumbar spine.

Saagar Shah graduated from the University of Central Florida with a bachelor’s in biomedical sciences. As a postbac fellow in the Brownell lab, he studies neuroendocrine Merkel cells.

Devika specializes in spondyloarthritis. She collaborates with patients to collect specimens, interpret clinical data, and coordinate research efforts aimed at improving the understanding and treatment of the disease.

Dr. Eman Bamashmous is a board-certified pediatrician and a pediatric rheumatology fellow at NIAMS, focusing on juvenile spondyloarthritis clinical studies. Her work includes applying bedside QST to assess pain phenotyping.

Fiona Shao is a postbac researcher in Dr. Vittorio Sartorelli’s lab at NIAMS. She studies the effect of muscle injury on the activation of quiescent muscle stem cells (MuSCs). Her research focuses on gene regulation during the activation of MuSC cells.
