Research Areas

Patterson and her collaborators are working to address the following three major research questions:

1. How does psychosocial stress & stress resilience impact symptom severity, disease activity, and immune function among individuals living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)?

2. How does physical activity impact immune function and clinical outcomes in RA and SLE?

3. How can we apply integrative health treatment approaches to address unmet needs in rheumatology?
