Dr. Radin's research focuses mainly on research in the field of complex autoimmune diseases, in particular systemic lupus erythematosus, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and undifferentiated connective tissue diseases. Research and numerous national and international collaborations have focused over the years in particular on the study of immunological biomarkers of conjunctival diseases, and their potential repercussions on the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of patients affected by these diseases.
The majority of Dr. Foddai's research is on complicated autoimmune illnesses, particularly antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus. She got the opportunity to work in an autoimmune department during her residency, where she improved her ability to identify and evaluate autoantibodies.
