The Lupus Research Alliance (LRA) and its affiliate Lupus Therapeutics (LT) developed—in close collaboration with the academic, industry and patient communities—an unparalleled platform, The Lupus Nexus, comprised of four main infrastructure components: a Registry, a Biorepository, a Data Repository, Exchange, and Analytics platforM (the DREAM) and a comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS).

The Lupus Nexus will revolutionize lupus research by providing an unparalleled platform for the collection, exchange, and analysis of patient samples and data to empower scientists and clinicians with the tools needed to deliver new treatments, prevent disease progression, and improve the quality of life for those living with lupus.
