Research Interests
Kanneboyina Nagaraju, PhD, DVM, is an immunologist with expertise in molecular pathogenesis of autoimmune and genetic muscle diseases. He is currently the director of preclinical drug testing facility at the Children’s National Medical Center and an associate professor of Pediatrics at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Previously, he was an assistant professor of Medicine at the Department of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Nagaraju’s research group is involved in a) defining the mechanisms of muscle fiber damage and dysfunction in autoimmune (e.g., myositis) and genetic (e.g., DMD, LGMD2B) muscle diseases using gene and protein expression profiling techniques, b) identifying molecular mechanisms underlying the sex-based differences in immune response and autoimmune diseases such as Sjogren’s syndrome, lupus, and arthritis, c) generating novel mouse models and improving existing mouse models to investigate disease pathogenesis, and d) performing basic and preclinical translational studies in autoimmune and genetic muscle diseases. Dr. Nagaraju has published in several peer-reviewed publications and has authored several reviews and textbook chapters. He is currently a member of the Research and Medical Advisory board of The Myositis Association. He is also an ad-hoc member of several national and international grant review panels.
