 Race Toward Unlocking the Mysteries of the Immune System
Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason (BRI) works to unlock the mysteries of the immune system. Its team of world-renowned scientists is focused on identifying causes and cures for devastating diseases including diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and cancer. BRI is an international leader in immune system and autoimmune disease research with a focus on translating laboratory discoveries to real life applications.
Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis
All donations from the Benaroya Research Institute Triathlon at Seafair go to support autoimmune disease research of Type 1 (juvenile) diabetes, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis at BRI. These three devastating, chronic diseases, affect more than four million Americans – and the incidence is rising. As autoimmune diseases, they share underlying mechanisms, which are being studied at BRI.
The researchers at Benaroya Research Institute rely on philanthropic support to find causes and cures for disease. Your gift plays a special role in providing funding for new research programs and equipment.
Supporting Research That Matters
The researchers at Benaroya Research Institute work every day to save lives by exploring causes and cures of auto immune diseases. They rely on philanthropic support to help reach their goal. Your donation plays a special role in providing funding for new research programs, equipment and staffing needs that may not be covered by government and foundation grants.
