Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SpARC)

The Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SpARC) is a collaborative group focused on studying spondyloarthritis, a group of related inflammatory diseases that primarily affect the spine, joints, and entheses (where tendons and ligaments attach to bones). SpARC conducts research to better understand these conditions, improve diagnosis, and develop effective treatments. By combining expertise across Canada, the consortium aims to advance knowledge, support clinical studies, and improve quality of life for individuals living with spondyloarthritis.
