A new opportunity for charities to increase impact. We and our partners are presenting the scientific community with an unanswered challenge. Can they collaborate across disease-specific silos to tackle many conditions at once? Their response could transform lives, and transform them much faster than small groups of specialists working in parallel could possibly achieve. The type 1 diabetes charity JDRF, the MS Society, Versus Arthritis and the British Society for Immunology want to know how immune disorders are linked. To be more specific, ‘what are the common mechanisms of autoimmunity and immune mediated inflammation?’ We want to build momentum among funders and scientists to find the answer by working together in a way that rarely happens across different immune disorders today. We are calling our project Connect Immune Research. WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? As the type 1 diabetes charity, JDRF wants the answer for one reason: so that we can prevent type 1 diabetes from happening and find the cure, faster, for the 400,000 UK people living with it. But the answer could also allow our partners to prevent and cure a whole range of other autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, which together affect approximately four million Britons. (Left to right) JDRF’s Director of Research Partnerships Rachel Connor, MS Society’s Senior Research Manager David Coutts and Versus Arthritis’ Head of Research Awards and Translation Caroline Aylott BROADENING THE FOCUS. BUILDING A COALITION. There are a large number of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions known to science. They include type 1 diabetes, Crohn’s disease, colitis, MS, psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. We know there are similarities in the genetic risk factors for many of these conditions. We know that many people live with more than one of them – for example thirty three per cent of people diagnosed with type 1 diabetes have at least one other autoimmune disorder at diagnosis – they are much more likely to have Coeliac disease or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis than the general population. So it is well established that the conditions are linked in some way. But for too long, investigating researchers have not been. They have had limited opportunities to collaborate. By working with scientists with expertise in different conditions, we could discover that one treatment in a single condition is a skeleton key, unlocking impact far beyond the initial indication. This could also dramatically reduce costs and speed transformation of treatment for millions of people. THAT’S WHY WE’RE BUILDING JDRF’S CONNECT IMMUNE RESEARCH INITIATIVE. We will start by funding a pilot collaborative award – we want scientists from different immune-related specialties to come together in a consortium to begin uncovering the common threads between their work. We want them to explore how to build progress in individual fields into faster progress across many fields. WHAT IS THE EMERGING CONNECT IMMUNE RESEARCH COALITION? JDRF, Versus Arthritis and MS Society committed to the pilot initiative along with the backing of the British Society of Immunology. As the initiative develops further and begins to deliver some results, we are keen for other organisations with an interest in research related to other autoimmune conditions to join this initiative. To help inform potential partners, we have developed the Connect Immune Research Charter which explains our vision, strategy and principles but also offers a tiered membership so that big and small organisations feel that they can join. We are delighted that Alopecia UK, the Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Alliance (PAPAA), Coeliac UK, Bowel Research UK, the British Thyroid Foundation, the Royal Free Charity and myaware have since joined the Connect Immune Research initiative. WHAT IS THE LORNA AND YUTI CHERNAJOVSKY BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH FOUNDATION AND CONNECT IMMUNE RESEARCH PARTNERSHIP? In 2022, we announced that ten new autoimmunity research projects would receive nearly £1 million from the partnership of the Lorna and Yuti Chernajovsky Biomedical Research Foundation and Connect Immune Research. The ten new 12-month pilot projects will explore how to target the links between multiple autoimmune conditions to increase our understanding and generate new treatments. The ultimate aim of this initiative is to deliver significant new investment to confront the UK’s high prevalence of autoimmunity and develop new treatments for multiple autoimmune conditions, faster. Read more about this announcement, or find out about the ten pilot projects. READ THE CONNECT IMMUNE RESEARCH PRESS RELEASE Read our public announcement of this groundbreaking initiative.
