彼得·K·格雷根森1950—

格雷格森及其团队进行全基因组扫描，以识别与类风湿性关节炎及其他炎症性疾病（如狼疮和重症肌无力）相关的多态性。

格雷格森与拉尔斯·克拉雷斯科、罗伯特·J·温彻斯特共同荣获瑞典皇家科学院颁发的2013年克拉福德奖，以表彰他们“在类风湿性关节炎的病理机制、诊断及临床管理中，关于不同遗传因子及其与环境因子相互作用之发现”。

格雷格森领导北美风湿病学联盟，针对1,000对患有类风湿性关节炎的兄弟姊妹，进行临床与基因数据的搜集、分析及公开共享。

荣誉

美国风湿病学会杰出基础研究学者奖（2007年）

克拉福德奖（2013年）

Peter K. Gregersen (born 1950) is a geneticist who heads the Robert S. Boas Center for Genomics and Human Genetics at Northwell's Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in Manhasset, New York, and is a professor of molecular medicine at Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine. He received his MD from Columbia University in 1976.

Gregersen and his team conduct genome-wide scans to identify polymorphisms that are associated with rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions such as lupus and Myasthenia Gravis.

Along with Dr. Lars Klareskog and Robert J. Winchester, Gregersen, received the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences's 2013 Crafoord Prize "for their discoveries concerning the role of different genetic factors and their interactions with environmental factors in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and clinical management of rheumatoid arthritis."

Gregersen leads the North American Rheumatology Consortium to collect, analyze and make available clinical and genetic data on 1,000 sibling pairs with rheumatoid arthritis.

Awards

2007, American College of Rheumatology Distinguished Basic Investigator Award.

2013, Crafoord Prize.
