About Me
Dr. Korman's research program focuses on understanding the cells and processes which cause scarring (fibrosis) and vascular disease (including pulmonary hypertension) in scleroderma. He uses both experimental models of disease and patient samples to better understand the relationship between adipose (fat) cells, blood vessels and scar-forming cells (fibroblasts). The ultimate goal of this work is to better understand why patients have different disease manifestations and to provide personalized treatment approaches.
