What impact has the ALR had on lupus research?
The entire climate surrounding lupus research has changed since ALR entered the picture. As mentioned above, our International SLEGEN Consortium has discovered several of the genes responsible for lupus, opening up many possible targets for genetic researchers. The biotech and pharmaceutical industries have turned their attention to treatments for lupus – many new therapies are currently in clinical trials, several of those resulting from ALR-funded research. Most importantly, there is new hope for all those living with this disease. People with lupus and their loved ones can rest assured that a very determined group is working hard to end their suffering, and lupus researchers know that they have a dependable resource to help them continue their important work.
