Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease, also known as iMCD, is the deadliest and most poorly understood subtype of Castleman Disease. Allan’s research project will use a customized analytic procedure to identify novel proteins that could be used to fight against iMCD by comparing expression of proteins in healthy and iMCD blood samples.
