Lupus Research

Lupus research focuses on understanding systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a chronic autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues. Researchers aim to uncover the disease's causes, improve diagnosis, and develop better treatments. This involves studying genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors that contribute to lupus. Advances in lupus research help to enhance patient care, manage symptoms, and potentially find a cure. By collaborating across disciplines, scientists and clinicians work to improve the quality of life for those affected by this complex disease.
