Steven Young-Min

Dr Steven Young-Min is a researcher at Newcastle University, UK, specializing in rheumatology and autoimmune diseases. His work focuses on biomarkers, clinical trials, and disease progression in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and primary Sjögren's syndrome.

Research Interests

• Investigation of biomarkers (e.g., serum MMP-3, cytokines) to predict radiographic progression in rheumatoid arthritis
• Characterization of fatigue mechanisms in Sjögren's syndrome through transcriptional profiling
• Clinical trial design optimization for autoimmune diseases
• Discrepancies between subjective and objective measures of disease symptoms
• Role of antiferritin antibodies in radiographic damage
• Genetic risk factors (DR4 shared epitope) in rheumatoid arthritis
