Getting Started

News and Announcements

Defining clinical features of Sjogren disease in children.

Tuesday, October 1, 2024
We are looking for an enthusiastic undergraduate student to assist with clinical research focused on childhood Sjogren disease. We have two different projects that each require information to be collected through clinical chart review and entering data into a database (eg, REDCap, a secure web application for data collection and management). One project is expected to result in defining the role of a specific test (amylase) in diagnosing or subcategorizing children with Sjogren disease. The other project is for long-term prospective data collection (international collaborative) - vital to our understanding of this disease. Hours are flexible. Financial compensation is available. The feeling that you are contributing to defining a disease that is not well recognized in children is priceless!
