Kenneth Kaufman, PhD, research interests lie in the genetics of complex diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE (an autoimmune disease) and rheumatoid arthritis. He and his team aim to discover the type of genetic variants that increase the risk of disease or cause disease, using next-generation DNA sequencing and advanced computational methods. He and his colleagues aim to uncover the systems and biological processes these variants affect to assist in developing new treatments for diseases.
