Mary K. Crow, MD
Dr. Crow is Associate Chief, Division of Rheumatology and Director of Rheumatology Research at Hospital for Special Surgery. She combines basic and translational research on the mechanisms that underlie systemic autoimmune diseases with active participation in the clinical and academic programs of the hospital and Weill Medical College of Cornell University. Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma have made important contributions to the understanding of those diseases through their participation in Dr. Crow’s research. Dr. Crow serves as Co-Director of the Mary Kirkland Center for Lupus Research and Director of the Autoimmunity and Inflammation Research Program at Hospital for Special Surgery.
