Autoimmune research initiatives

The Autoimmune Association convenes scientists, physicians, and researchers from across disciplines to explore the root cause of autoimmunity in an effort to unlock breakthrough treatments and someday, cures.

The Autoimmune Association focuses on science to improve patient care

The Autoimmune Association’s mission is to improve the lives of those affected by autoimmune disease through awareness, education, advocacy, and research. That includes reducing time to diagnosis, improving treatment, and finding a cure. Autoimmune Association connects researchers to facilitate scientific exchange and funds research to support scientists at every stage of their career.

Define the Gap

The Autoimmune Association is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion as a key focus area in our ongoing pursuit of reducing health disparities for all individuals living with autoimmune related diseases. Since some autoimmune diseases have a higher rate of incidence among underserved communities depending upon the disease, understanding how patients’ journeys differ offers an opportunity to address those disparities and devise concrete solutions for both patients and caregivers.
