About Me
Dr. Proton Rahman is an international leader on the genetic basis of inflammatory arthritis. His pioneering research has led to the identification of numerous novel genes that contribute to the pathogenesis of psoriatic arthritis and anklyosing spondylitis. In collaboration with an international psoriasis consortium, he has identified over half of all psoriatic arthritis genes reaching genome wide significance. Additionally, Dr. Rahman has pioneered the development of the Newfoundland Genealogical Database (NGO) by creatively using information collected for census data. The NGO provides clinicians and researchers with rapid access to a detailed patient pedigree and genealogy linkage with health outcome and pedigree visualization.
