Neda Amiri Rad watched her mother live with the pain and challenges of rheumatoid arthritis.

Now, as a PhD candidate at Binghamton University, that experience is fueling research that could make a difference for people living with autoimmune diseases. Her research explores how genes interact in rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases in hopes of advancing earlier diagnosis and more effective treatments. The Rheumatology Research Foundation is proud to invest in Neda’s future through the Choose Rheumatology Scholarship. By inspiring and supporting the next generation of rheumatology professionals, the program helps build a strong pipeline of researchers and clinicians committed to advancing the field and improving the lives of people impacted by rheumatic disease.
