A blogger and lupus patient asked several leading lupus researchers for their vision for what they believe the coming years might bring for research, patient care, treatments, and overall quality of life. Heres what one researcher said: “We will move closer to unraveling the causes of lupus. We probably will not discover root causes of lupus by 2025, but we must continue down this path because the most important goal—a cure—requires it. And we may get ‘the big surprise.’ The course of science is unpredictable. Answers to key questions come from unexpected sources and transform our thinking about particular diseases. These breakthroughs cannot be predicted, but they happen. I believe that someday, that will happen for lupus.” - David Wofsy, MD, University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and Past President, American College of Rheumatology. (From The Lupus Effect)
