Leadership and Partners

Formerly known as the Corporate Leadership Circle (CLC), the evolved PIC represents an opportunity to hear directly from those living with lupus. PIC sponsorship enables the active partnership between those living with lupus and the biopharmaceutical industry across the treatment development process. This collaborative holds quarterly meetings that serve as a space where those living with lupus, including members of the Patient Advocates for Lupus Studies (PALS) program, come together.

PIC is part of the movement to elevate patient voices and drive meaningful change in drug development.

The Lupus Research Alliance Lupus Industry Council (LIC) includes pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies working together in the pre-competitive space to address common impediments to drug development in lupus and accelerate the pace of bringing new lupus therapies to the market.

The Lupus Research Alliance is proud to partner with the following lupus organizations that are committed to lupus research at the national level and desire to work together to achieve mutual education, awareness, advocacy and fundraising goals.
