Dysautonomia Grant
The Sjögren’s Foundation is excited to share that in addition to awarding our new Pilot and High Impact grants, a $50,000 grant has been awarded to Dr. Kamal Chémali to study the prevalence of elevated Mycoplasma pneumoniæ titers in Sjögren’s and other autoimmune disorder-associated neuropathic postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (neuropathic POTS).
Dr. Chémali, an associate professor of neurology at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, has focused his research and career on autonomic nervous system disorders, small fiber neuropathies (SFN) and autoimmune autonomic neuropathies.
