"In addition to his duties as OMRF president, Dr. Capra continues his research projects in the laboratory as Member and Head of the Molecular Immunogenetics Research Program. Dr. Capra is well known for his studies of antibody genes and how they are mutated in autioimmune disorders. His research at OMRF focuses on the immune system at the molecular level. He is particularly interested in the genetic origin and structure of human antibodies. He also studies the role of a specialized white cell, a "T-cell," in human immune system responses. Dr. Capra's work in this area is yielding valuable data that has a broad range of clinical applications in treating, managing, and detecting various diseases."
