Dr. Bass is a Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine/Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York City. She is a practicing rheumatologist at HSS, New York Presbyterian Hospital (Cornell), and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.  She directs a large checkpoint inhibitor-associated arthritis registry at HSS and leads a multidisciplinary team doing clinical and translational studies in that cohort. Her research goals are to identify effective treatments for immune related adverse events (irAE) that preserve anti-tumor responses, and to gain insight into the development of de novo rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, through the study of irAE.
