The LRI is solely dedicated to novel research in lupus. It was founded in 2000 by people with this devastating illness and their families in collaboration with the country’s leading scientists. At the time, the outlook for lupus was relatively bleak, with little movement towards greater understanding of its cause or a potential cure. Decades had passed with no new treatments approved.
Lupus is one of the most complex diseases for scientists to decode and for patients to comprehend. The Alliance for Lupus Research (ALR) understands that many people -especially those newly diagnosed with the disease - grapple with the words and terms used to describe lupus and its often multipart and varied manifestations. This is a comprehensive interactive glossary to learn more about lupus.
ALR-LRI Collaboration to Accelerate New Lupus Treatments Moving at Fast Pace | Lupus Research Institute: The Alliance for Lupus Research (ALR) and the Lupus Research Institute (LRI) are excited to report rapid progress on the cooperative project we launched just months ago to fast-track scientific analysis and identification of potential new treatments for lupus. The lupus community participates with comments, ideas and input on the program's dedicated LinkedIn site, LRxL STAT.
The Lupus Initiative ® is a national education program designed to reduce health disparities experienced by patients with lupus. We develop educational resources for students and practitioners of medicine and the health professions - CME activities, case studies, a curriculum on lupus and health disparities, communication tools and more - to assist and support them in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients disproportionately affected by lupus based on race, ethnicity, and gender.
We are devoted to solving the mystery of lupus, one of the world's cruelest, most unpredictable, and devastating diseases, while giving caring support to those who suffer from its brutal impact.
