Dr. Rubin is Professor of Medicine and Chief, Division of Rheumatology at the University of North Texas Health Science Center. He graduated from Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1976. His residency in internal medicine was at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, Pa. Following that he completed a fellowship in rheumatology at Thomas Jefferson University and a fellowship in clinical immunology at Hahnemann University. He later completed a Masters in Public Health at UNTHSC. He is board certified in internal medicine and rheumatology. He is a fellow of the American College of Physicians, American College of Osteopathic Internists, and American College of Rheumatology. His areas of interest 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. He has worked with Drs Chesky and Krondaske for several years in their shared research efforts.
