Research summary

Nicholas A. Young's research focuses on inflammation and autoimmune disease, particularly systemic lupus erythematosus, and how factors like hormones (estrogen), physical exercise, stress, and viral infections (such as Epstein-Barr virus) influence immune-mediated inflammation. The work spans laboratory animal models and human studies, touching on related conditions like gout, arthralgia, bone fracture healing, and post-viral sensory dysfunction (loss of taste/smell after COVID-19).

Publication output was modest and variable for most of the past decade but shows a sharp, unusual spike in 2025 after several years of low activity.
