The most-cited papers in rheumatology research, mentioned earlier, already give us a clue about our highly-cited rheumatologists’ favourite research subject. That’s right: rheumatoid arthritis. Not less than 24 of our top 30 researchers work exclusively or primarily on this disease. The ranking’s number one, Paul Emery, is no exception. In his research, he wants to elucidate RA’s immunopathogenesis and immunotherapy. In addition, he studies spondyloarthritis, another rheumatoid inflammatory disease, which can cause the fusion of spinal vertebrae, leading to stiffness and inflexibility..
