Her recent research efforts focus on translational sarcoidosis. Her goal is to bridge basic science and clinical research to provide the best care for patients with sarcoidosis. Dr. Sweiss has participated-and continues to participate-as principal investigator in numerous clinical trials that focus on Sarcoidosis, Scleroderma, Raynaud’s phenomenon and Rheumatoid Arthritis, particularly for treatments when these disorders do not respond to traditional therapies.
