WHAT are we : Charities
The team at The London Lupus Centre supports two charities - The St Thomas' Lupus Trust and the Hughes Syndrome Foundation.
The St Thomas' Lupus Trust
A registered charity, that was set up in 1992
with the twin aims of furthering education on lupus and supporting
lupus research at St Thomas' Hospital.
This charity currently funds the salaries of 3 doctors in the lupus clinic
at St Thomas' Hospital, a laboratory technician and one post-doctoral
fellow. It also supports the running costs of the lupus research unit,
which currently publishes some 40 research papers a year on lupus.
The Hughes Syndrome Foundation
Funds research into Hughes
syndrome, including aspects of thrombosis and recurrent miscarriage. It
also supports national and international teaching initiatives and
educational material aimed at improving awareness.
