Biomarkers in Autoimmune Diseases, Vasculitis and Auto Inflammatory Diseases
The objective of this work is to identify, in patients with autoimmune diseases, systemic vasculitis and autoinflammatory disease, cytokine and lymphocyte biomarkers of activity of these diseases to identify follow-up biomarkers, in order to personalize the follow-up and the treatments for each patient. Immunological data will be obtained from biological samples collected as part of the usual patient care pathway (Blood and tissues sampling) The study will take place in the Department of Internal Medicine and Clinical Immunology (DMIIC), that is certified as the National Reference Centre for Rare Systemic Autoimmune Diseases and the National Reference Centre for Inflammatory Autoinflammatory Diseases and Inflammatory Amyloidosis (CEREMAIA). Its objective is to contribute to the advancement of fundamental knowledge in immunology, in particular to develop prognostic biomarkers of the activity of autoimmune diseases, systemic vasculitis and autoinflammatory diseases by using blood tests.
