About the Joint Space Immunology Laboratory
Dr. Cyndari is an Emergency Medicine physician dedicated to improving outcomes for all her patients. The Cyndari Laboratory studies the immune response within the joint space during infectious and inflammatory arthritis. These studies implement a unique ex-vivo system using synovial tissue from human patients. This Joint Space Analysis system (JSAS) allows research in a human model to further understand the arthritic joint space and identify new potential treatment targets.
