Renown Clinical Trials and Research

Renown Health is excited to announce participation in our first rheumatology clinical trial, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to advancing medical research and improving patient care. The study, led by rheumatologist and site-level Principal Investigator Dr. Kennedy Ukadike, focuses on evaluating the safety and efficacy of the experimental drug litifilimab in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Meet newly minted Dr. Majid Khan, PhD., a native of Reno, and current MD-PhD candidate and first-generation medical student at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine, who is on his way to a career as a Neurosurgery. While most graduate students often choose between pursuing a medical degree (MD) or a doctorate in philosophy (PhD), Majid has boldly picked both. He is one of three medical students currently in the UNR Med MD-PhD Program run by Dr. Caroline Cobine, PhD and Dr. Violeta Mutafova-Yambolieva, MD, PhD.
