BENAROYA RESEARCH INSTITUTE

Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason (BRI) is one of the few research institutes in the world dedicated to discovering causes and cures to eliminate autoimmune and immune system diseases. At BRI, their scientists aren’t focused on eliminating one or two autoimmune diseases—they’re taking on all 80. Because autoimmune diseases are connected, so is the way they’re fighting them. They're applying the breakthroughs they make against individual autoimmune diseases to make progress ag... ainst them all. Through collaboration and cooperation between researchers, across clinical trials and with other institutions, they connect laboratory research to clinical trials and translate discoveries to real-life applications. As a world leader in scientific innovation, they’re leveraging this progress to eliminate autoimmune and immune system diseases in the future. Their discoveries are also having significant impact on people living with autoimmune and immune system diseases today—by improving the ability to predict disease risk, facilitate treatment, decrease progression of these diseases and make related therapies safer and more effective.More
