Dr. Tambralli is Clinical Assistant Professor in both adult and pediatric rheumatology and sees patients across the age spectrum. He received his bachelor’s and M.D. degrees at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and then completed a residency program in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at the University of Rochester. He then moved to Michigan to pursue dual fellowships in adult and pediatric rheumatology at the University of Michigan. During fellowship, he was awarded the prestigious American College of Rheumatology Distinguished Fellow Award, as well as a Rheumatology Research Foundation Scientist Development Award.

Dr. Tambralli cares for children, adolescents, and adults with rheumatic diseases. He looks after all rheumatic diseases and sees patients with inflammatory arthritis, lupus, antiphospholipid syndrome, myositis, vasculitis, and autoinflammatory diseases.

Dr. Tambralli is also a part of the Jason Knight lab and participates in research on lupus and the antiphospholipid syndrome. He is working towards understanding the metabolic triggers of autoimmunity in these diseases and how to effectively harness them to develop better treatments.

My research interests are to understand the role of neutrophil metabolism in the pathogenesis of the antiphospholipid syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus to develop more targeted and less toxic therapies for our patients.
