Top rheumatologist to speak at WCMC-Q

Sir Ravinder Maini

Rheumatologist and immunologist Sir Ravinder Maini whose groundbreaking work on causes and treatments of rheumatoid arthritis won him the title of "Father of Translational Research,” will speak at the Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar (WCMC-Q) at 5pm today.
Prof Maini collaborated for more than 20 years with Professor Feldmann at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology in basic research and clinical trials that have transformed the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other chronic inflammatory conditions.    They received the Albert Lasker Clinical Medical Research Award in 2003 and the Crafoord Prize of the Royal Swedish Academy in 2000, among others. 
Maini was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003.
Maini’s presentation "Bench to Bedside Research and Development of anti-TNF Therapy” will highlight the pivotal nature of translational research in the biomedical arena.
