Matthew McElwee, M.D., Ph.D.

Biography

Fellowship dates: 2017-2021
Research Emphasis: The challenge in rheumatoid arthritis is different in that the autoimmune process is driven by peptides that are chemically modified (e.g. citrullinated). In my research, I will use MHC tetramers to identify and characterize pathogenic T-cells in patients with antibody mediated rejection of lung transplant as well as rheumatoid arthritis.
