Closing out Lupus Awareness Month with a throwback purple pic. 💜
As both a scientist and advocate, lupus awareness is more than a month on the calendar for me. Every day, I have the privilege of studying the links between lupus, inflammation, high blood pressure, and kidney disease while working toward better treatments and outcomes for patients.
Today, I’m honoring the strength of those living with lupus, the families who support them, and the researchers, clinicians, and advocates dedicated to finding answers.
Awareness matters. Research matters. Patients matter.
