At Autoimmune Research Laboratory, Dept. of Rheumatology and Immunology, Tan Tock Seng Hospitial, Singapore, I am now working with on genetics of Autoimmune Diseases like Systemic Lupus Erythematousu, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Scleroderma etc. Luckily these autoimmune diesases do not have proven or known etiology, we have to work on this area.
A lot of work have been presented over several medical conferences, seminars and some have been published over established medical journals. Many presentation have been awarded as Best Papers, Young Scientist and Merit awards.
Genetic studies have been done by molecular biology techniques like
Polymerase Chain Reaction, Restrction Fragment Length Polynorphism, Probing
and labelling method etc. ELISA techniques and indirect immunofluorescent
methods are mainly used for detection of serum antibodies level, hormone
levels.
