Masonic Medical Research Institute awarded Department of Defense Lupus Impact Award

(Masonic Medical Research Institute) Lupus is a common and devastating autoimmune disease that has no cure and current treatments only work to improve symptoms, which often have secondary, even devastating, side effects. Therefore, there is significant need and urgency to identify more specific and targeted therapies for this disease. Dr. Maria Kontaridis, Executive Director at MMRI aims to try to do just this, with grant support from a newly garnered Department of Defense (DOD) Lupus Impact Award, totaling $750,000.
