SLE Research

The Rheumatology Center at Miller Children’s participates in an active research program on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The research program is a collaborative initiative with other medical institutions and has been instrumental in ensuring that patients of the Rheumatology Center can benefit from leading treatments as they become available.

The primary goal of the SLE research is to find similarities of genetic markers of both, parents and children who have lupus. By identifying similar genetic markers, a cure for lupus can be developed.
