Our Mission

The mission of the RILITE (Re-Imagine Lupus Investigation, Treatment and Education) Foundation is to identify and fund totally novel, insightful research into causes and cures of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).   In addition, RILITE develops novel educational modalities aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of lupus by the general community and expanding knowledge of those involved in clinical trials. 

RILITE funds direct costs of a research project, but does not provide indirect costs to an institution.

RILITE RESEARCH INSTITUTE

The RILITE Research Institute is composed of a critical number of highly productive scientists pursuing bioinformatic and machine learning approaches to understand lupus biology and identify new targets of intervention.
