Dr. Alisa Erika Koch, University of Michigan, Receives Prestigious Award from the Arthritis Foundation

The Arthritis Foundation bestowed its highest nationwide honors to several deserving recipients during its national meeting on Nov. 18 in Beverly Hill, Calif.

Dr. Alisa E. Koch, Professor of Rheumatology at University of Michigan, received the Lee C. Howley Sr. Prize for Arthritis Research.  The Howley Prize recognizes researchers whose contributions during the previous five years have represented a significant advancement in the understanding, treatment or prevention of arthritis.

Dr. Koch studied extensively at Northwestern and Loyola, concentrating on immunopatheogenesis, cell adhesion, angiogenesis and cytokines, as they relate to the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).  Through her lab work and many contributions to prestigious scientific journals, Dr. Koch has made a major impact on RA treatments.
