Unmet medical need Program for Autoimmune Disease Intervention Autoimmune diseases affect 50 million in the US, and are one of the top 10 leading causes of death in children and women age 65 and younger.
5
Unmet medical need Program for Autoimmune Disease Intervention Morbidity and mortality are directly related to late diagnosis, lack of effective treatments, and problems in access to care;

Scientific Opportunity: We now, for the first time, can identify, isolate, and study the cells (specific lymphocytes) which trigger and cause autoimmune diseases Program for Autoimmune Disease Intervention

21
Program for Autoimmune Disease Intervention Our vision for this Program is to evaluate new and emerging markers of lymphocyte lineage and function, in combination with new and emerging markers of genetic propensity for autoimmune phenotypes, in patients at all stages of autoimmune disease—from predisposition through disease diagnosis and response to immunotherapy.
22
Health Impact “Deliverables”: A toolkit for a new approach to autoimmunity
23
Program for Autoimmune Disease Intervention We anticipate that a successful result from this Program will be the widespread use of such profiling tools for early diagnosis, selection of therapy, monitoring of therapy, and design of the next generation clinical trials for T1D, MS, and lupus. …better outcomes …reduced costs
