QB3 Symposium: Innovation in Autoimmune Therapies from Discovery to Translation

Approximately 1 in 15 people in the United States is affected by an autoimmune disease, including rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. These conditions are notoriously difficult to diagnose, and existing treatments are often hindered by non-specificity, leading to significant adverse side effects. Despite these exciting strides, the unmet need for patients remains immense. This convergence of scientific breakthroughs and growing market interest inspired our team at QB3 to focus this year’s symposium on autoimmune disease research.
