WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF
MINNESOTA
DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE
DIVISION OF RHEUMATIC AND AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
Director:
Dr. Daniel
Mueller, Professor of Medicine
The Division
of Rheumatic and Autoimmune Diseases seeks the cure for a diverse group of
immunological and inflammatory diseases that affect a wide range of organ
systems. Although the cause of many of these illnesses is unknown, many share
some form of immunopathology that leads to uncontrolled inflammation, pain,
disability, and often tissue destruction. Ongoing basic, translational, and
clinical research in this division is leading to an even greater understanding
of systemic autoimmunity that leads to rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic
arthritis, scleroderma, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome and
polymyositis/dermatoymyositis, as well as select tissue-specific autoimmune
diseases such as multiple sclerosis and diabetes mellitus. Clinicians in this
Division are also available for inpatient and outpatient Rheumatology
Consultation at the University of Minnesota Medical Center-Fairview and the
Fairview Maple Grove sites. Finally, educators in this Division are training the
next generation of biomedical researchers, rheumatology practitioners, and
professors, to meet the growing health care needs of the 21st century. We
appreciate your visit to our website, and encourage you to join us in this great
effort!
