Welcome to the Alliance for Lupus Research's (ALR's) Lupus Research Update (LRU).

We are proud to present you with the latest breaking news from the lupus research community. In every LRU, you'll learn about everything from the most technical advances in lupus science and ALR-funded investigator profiles, to the latest Walk with Us to Cure Lupus and grassroots advocacy program news. We are also proud to introduce a new "Face of Lupus" in each quarterly newsletter.

It is our pleasure to keep you updated on our progress — which you make possible through your support! We welcome your feedback. Please feel free to write info@lupusresearch.org with any suggestions.

Whether you contribute financially, volunteer your time, or lend your voice to our common cause, on behalf on the ALR, and all those touched by lupus, thank you for your support.

Because the ALR Board of Directors pays all operating expenses, 100% of all donations go directly to support research. ALR leverages every dollar donated for maximum impact. Support the search for a cure for lupus today!

Together, we will find a cure.
