Changing Treatment Perspective on Lupus and Pregnancy

Dr. Eliza Chakravarty’s lupus research focus includes studying the behavior of the altered immune system caused by autoimmune diseases and on the underlying immune response to immunological challenges commonly encountered. Her lab's two main interests are the immunological response to pregnancy, where the immune system has to adapt to support the growing semi-allograft fetus, and the immunological response to viral infection and vaccination, particularly with the varicella zoster virus. Using epidemiological and translational approaches, Dr. Chakravarty and her colleagues are studying the behavior of different autoimmune diseases during pregnancy as well as the outcomes of pregnancies among women with lupus and other autoimmune diseases. Dr. Chakravarty is the 2014 recipient of the Lupus Foundation of America's Mary Betty Stevens Young Investigator Prize.
