The pathogenesis of PR3-ANCA associated vasculitis [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Lani Shochet (Principal investigator)

Brief description ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a rare but severe cause of autoimmune renal disease, which can lead to renal failure and death. Our research and understanding of AAV until now has been largely limited to MPO-AAV. This proposal provides a unique opportunity to further understand PR3-AAV by utilising a new mouse model of the disease. This knowledge will inform further research regarding therapeutic targets, thereby improving care of patients affected by PR3-AAV.
