Thrilled to have the opportunity to present our early research on identifying stereotypes for patients with SLE at #LUPUS2025 in Toronto. Leaving inspired and grateful for this outstanding community of scientists, clinicians, and patient partners.

Adding some of my favorite slides … #LUPUS2025
Many excellent sessions and abstracts, especially appreciated the multiple sessions on CNS lupus and cognitive impairment - an area of importance for patients with lupus.
