Dr. Bernard Rubin, Medical Director
Dr. Rubin’s interests include the molecular basis of connective tissue diseases. This includes the accumulation of abnormal proteins in rheumatoid arthritis and the production of autoantibodies in syemic lupus erythematosus. Hopefully, enhanced knowledge of the molecular basis of these diseases will provide new methods of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. His clinical research studies focus on the psychological components of rheumatic diseases and the evaluation of new potential therapies for osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis, particularly involving the use of osteopathic manipulation in treatment programs. Dr Rubin is a clarinetist, and the Medical Director and co-founder of the Texas Center for Music & Medicine. He is actively involved in evaluation, treatment, and prevention of health problems of musicians.
