Join us for an insightful session with Julio Huapaya, MD, a critical care and pulmonary specialist affiliated with Johns Hopkins Medicine and the NIH Clinical Center.

Dr. Huapaya’s talk will dive into his cutting-edge research on myositis-associated interstitial lung disease (M‑ILD), focusing on:

  • Longitudinal clinical features and outcomes in patients with anti‑synthetase syndrome autoantibodies, based on Johns Hopkins’ long-term cohort studies 
  • An overview of his contribution to managing lung involvement in myositis using azathioprine and mycophenolate mofetil to preserve lung function and reduce steroid dependence in M‑ILD patients
  • His recent work on autoantibody measurement with advanced testing methods, funded by a two‑year $100K fellowship under the Myositis Association and Johns Hopkins ILD program 
  • Broader perspectives from his 2021 co-authored chapter, “Myositis‑Associated Interstitial Lung Disease” in the Encyclopedia of Respiratory Medicine
