Pediatric Rheumatology Research IDEA Lab
Our Partners
The Pediatric Rheumatology Research IDEA Lab is grateful to the many agencies, families, individuals, and corporate donor partners who support research that improves the lives of children with arthritis and related rheumatic diseases.
"Trying to navigate the world as a young person with a chronic illness is a terrifying feat. Not only are you trying to manage the norms of everyday life but you are also faced with the challenge of overcoming the daily struggles of your disease. Research provides hope that maybe tomorrow will be a little bit easier and a little bit better than today. It allows patients to find comfort in knowing that there are dedicated researchers working to generate new understandings, treatments and therapies."
