“Without the Lupus Research Institute, our project would have stopped—and a fundamental discovery in immunology would not have happened.”
– Greg Lemke, PhD, professor of Molecular Neurobiology at the Salk Institute in La Jolla. With an Institute grant, Lemke identified an essential switch that controls immune system inflammation.
“Cutting edge research has been made possible by the Institute funding high-risk projects.”
– Martin Weigert, MD, PhD, University of Chicago
“The Institute fills a really remarkable and unique place because it is willing—indeed its mandate is—to fund research that has the potential to entirely change the face and the future of science on this subject (lupus). Through its annual support, the LRI strengthens the lupus research landscape and moves novel concepts forward to secure large-scale federal funding.”
– William E. Paul, MD, chairman of the LRI Scientific Advisory Board
