University of Chicago
In this project, we propose to continue our ongoing studies to fully characterize in situ immune cell heterogeneity and spatial relationships in human lupus nephritis biopsies. We will do this by combining high-dimensional (60 analytes) with customized deep machine learning analytical pipelines. As described in the following application, knowledge of in situ immunity will help in the development of new prognostic markers and also identify new therapeutic opportunities. Our patient population is predominantly young African-American women. Among patient groups, African Americans get the worse, most treatment resistant lupus nephritis. They are also relatively underrepresented in most studies of lupus nephritis.
