Let's talk medical research

Increasingly, medical researchers acknowledge the need for more diversity in study participants so that trials can better predict the real-world impact of a drug or medical device.

Minority participation in medical research is important for all conditions, but is critical for ailments that disproportionately impact people of color, like lupus.

People diagnosed today have a real chance of having their tumors disappear.”- Neil Spiegler, President of the Melanoma Action Coalition and Founder of The Peggy Spiegler Melanoma Research Foundation.
