Reviews
From the reviews:
“This is a detailed examination of Sjogren’s syndrome, from pathogenesis to diagnosis and treatment of the disease. One of the book’s greatest strengths is its utility as a reference. … appropriate for students, residents, and practitioners, but especially for practicing rheumatologists. … the book is quite enjoyable and easy to read cover-to-cover. The writing is clear and the subject is covered thoroughly. … This is probably the most outstanding, authoritative book on the subject that I have encountered. Any rheumatologist could benefit from reading it.” (Jonathan Miner, Doody’s Review Service, February, 2013)

His other research efforts relate to the identification of new biomarkers through proteomic approaches, and to the development of clinical trials' outcome measures in rheumatic autoimmune diseases.
