One of the researchers at the University of Gothenburg who receives funding is Inger Gjertsson, professor of internal medicine and rheumatology. She receives SEK 260,000 for her project, which will contribute to individualized treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. In the research program, the group is studying autoantibodies against proteins that are related to joints, to see if these can be used to predict prognosis and treatment response. The group also studies how specific populations of B cells contribute to the development of the disease.

Another project receives SEK 75,000. It deals with pain in osteoarthritis. Carmen Corciulo, postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Internal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition at the Institute of Medicine, will, among other things, investigate whether women with osteoarthritis after menopause have lower levels of adenosine and estrogens in blood and joints, and whether the signaling pathway for adenosine together with estrogen replacement can develop into a new treatment strategy of osteoarthritis in a mouse model.

In total, the Rheumatic Association has granted just over SEK 13 million to 81 research projects in Sweden for 2023.
