معرفی
Clara Abraham is a Professor of Medicine (Digestive Diseases) at Yale School of Medicine, focusing on the molecular and immunological mechanisms underlying inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). She is affiliated with the Human and Translational Immunology Program, Inflammatory Bowel Disease Program, Liver Center, and Yale Ventures.
- MD: University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine (1989)
- BS: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (1985)
Her research explores innate immunity, T cell biology, and genetic risk factors in IBD. Key projects include:
- Role of LACC1 and RNF186 in macrophage function and bacterial clearance
- Impact of IRF5 and ICOSLG variants on inflammatory signaling
- Autophagy regulation by MTMR3 in immune responses
Her 15 most recent publications (2012–2023) reveal a focus on NOD2 signaling, cytokine pathways, and genetic susceptibility in IBD. Collaborations include researchers like David Hafler and Harriet Kluger.
Notable awards include the Leah Lowenstein Award and Phyllis T. Bodel Lectureship through Yale's Office for Women in Medicine and Science.
