Made up of more than 80 diseases that share a common underlying manner of development seen with increasing frequency – an overactive immune response – suggests there’s an urgent need to improve our understanding of the biology, diagnosis, and treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Translational research aims to bridge the vast amount of disease knowledge generated at the life science
research bench with an expected benefit at the bedside in the clinical domain. But given the number of
studies performed, papers published, and trials run – compared with the number of new treatment
options reaching patients – it’s apparent that predictive value at the bedside is lagging.
