Lupus, also known as the disease of a thousand faces, is a complex disease. Due to the wide range symptoms, it can be difficult to manage and can take several years to diagnose. Lupus Canada is pleased to share the work of our 2022 Catalyst Grant recipient, Dr. Boilard, who in collaboration with a team of researchers and a hundred patients, succeeded in developing a test, which is now patented, to facilitate the detection of this disease.
