Research

Our group focuses on characterizing the molecular mechanisms that underlie phenotypes of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In previous studies we have used machine learning to integrate rheumatoid arthritis gene expression profiles with histology features to provide insight into RA disease subsets (Arthritis and Rheumatol, 2018) and have noted the persistence of histologic and transcriptional evidence of subclinical synovial inflammation in RA patients in clinical remission (Arthritis and Rheumatol, 2019). We have also developed methods to empower patients to participate in dense longitudinal genomics studies from home and used this approach to gain insights into the immune events that led to rheumatoid arthritis flares (NEJM, 2020).

Industry Relationships

Industry Relationships

HSS has a long history of supporting appropriate relationships with industry because they advance HSS's mission to provide the highest quality patient care, improve patient mobility, and enhance the quality of life for all, and to advance the science of orthopedic surgery, rheumatology, and their related disciplines through research and education.

As of May 31, 2023, Dr. Orange reported no relationships with the healthcare industry.

HSS and its physicians make this information available to patients and the public, thus creating a transparent environment for those who are interested in this information. Further, the HSS Conflicts of Interest and Commitment Policy prohibits physicians from collecting royalties on products they develop that are used on patients at HSS.
