RESEARCH INTEREST:
Dr Anolik is an adult rheumatologist who practices in the University of Rochester's Lupus Clinic. Her research interests include the role of B cells in the pathophysiology of human systemic lupus and the study of new immunomodulatory treatments for lupus. As part of the research group at the University of Rochester she has been one of the pioneers in the use of B-cell depletion for the therapy of autoimmune diseases and investigation of the effects of B cell depletion on immune function in SLE patients. She has also pioneered the use of tonsil biopsy as a means of probing immune dysregulation in autoimmune diseases, including SLE and RA.
