Also supported by the REF and held in conjunction with this year’s REF investigators’ meeting was the Keystone Symposia Meeting on Rheumatoid Arthritis.
About 20 REF-funded investigators presented their research at the Keystone Symposia Meeting, which provided an opportunity to share cutting-edge research with experts and leaders in the field of RA research.
“It’s exciting how far the REF’s disease-targeted research program has come in just five years,” says Gary S. Firestein, MD, professor of medicine and dean and associate vice chancellor of translational medicine at the University of California San Diego and one of the organizers of the meeting. “Collaboration has played a vital role in that success, and it will only become more important in the future. That’s why it is essential to bring diverse investigators together in a way that fosters cooperative efforts.”
