Lupus and LRI News

Be sure to visit out News section, where you'll find not only LRI-specific news but updates on important lupus research and pharmaceutical/biotechnology developments nationwide. LRI's busy communications office also generates PSA(s) and press releases.

To read about the published work of LRI-backed scientists, be sure to see Round-Up of LRI Research Papers.

Forum for Discovery

A condition of accepting an LRI research grant is attendance at LRI's Forum for Discovery, the country's foremost conference on new science in lupus. Few annual meetings provide such a trove of story ideas and concentration of top scientists. Basic and clinical investigators, as well as key thought leaders, come together to discuss new research concepts and progress, devise collaborative projects, and inspire new lupus investigators.

To keep scientists and others current on LRI's work, the Institute publishes an annual newsletter, Discovery, and periodic Discovery Updates. More »
