In this episode of Around The Rheum, Dr. Daniel Ennis and Dr. Janet Pope are joined again by living legend in the world of Rheumatology, Dr. Dafna Gladman. Dr. Gladman is an Emeritus Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto and an Emeritus Scientist at the Schroeder Arthritis Institute and Crumble Research Institute. Dr. Gladman, who recently delivered the Dunlop-Dottridge lecture at the CRA's 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting in Calgary, discusses the past, present, and future of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) research. She highlights the role of biomarkers, the vital and complementary contributions of clinicians and statisticians in conducting research, and the emerging role of AI in transforming PsA patient care. Dr. Gladman also reflects on her career journey, the importance of collaboration in medical research, and her recent appointment as an officer of the Order of Canada.
