To better deliver on these initiatives, and to properly shed light on the challenges those with lupus face, Exagen is partnering with the Lupus Foundation of America, Lupus LA, and patient advocates throughout the month.

Ron Rocca, President and CEO of Exagen, shared, “The landscape of lupus therapies and testing has changed over the past few years. We’re in a position now where we can make a real impact for those suffering from lupus, not only through a shorter diagnosis timeframe, but with a more individualized approach. Spreading awareness of what that impact looks like is imperative. We are thrilled to be working with our partners to promote that awareness.”
