Lupus Research

1. People with lupus desperately need safer, more effective treatments.
2. Awareness of lupus must increase, especially among young women most at risk for developing the disease.
3. Better treatments and a cure for lupus are withing our reach, but we all must do our part to advance research.

Health - Diseases and Disease Research

Our cause is championed by the Lupus Research Institute (LRI).

The LRI leads the way to a cure for lupus by unleashing the scientific community’s creativity, championing innovation, and exploring uncharted territory in lupus research. Recognizing that most major breakthroughs come from unexpected directions, the Institute fosters and supports only the highest-ranked new science to prevent, treat, and cure this chronic autoimmune disease.

Through its National Coalition, a network of national and regional leaders in major cities across America, the LRI also works with patient groups to advocate for increased research funding, spread awareness of the severity of the disease and its complications, and push for new treatments and a cure.
