Research summary
Dr. Liam O’Neil is a member of the Manitoba Centre for Proteomics and Systems Biology, and his research focuses on understanding the biological events that occur prior to the development of rheumatoid arthritis.
He previously trained at the National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, MD) where he elucidated a mechanism linking neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation and autoantibody responses in rheumatoid arthritis.
His aim is to better understand the pre-clinical phase of rheumatoid arthritis, interface immunology and proteomics to elucidate mechanisms of rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
