"COMING SOON"

"FUTURE LINK TO CURRENT RESEARCH"

Research is needed to help fight our battle with Takayasu’s arteritis. TARA is focused on searching, obtaining and providing critical data necessary to reach our goal of finding a cure for Takayasu’s Arteritis. The patients, families, friends and the medical community need to work together to understand and learn more about TA. It affects each person differently and therefore we need everyone's input and support. TARA was established to facilitate this effort.

The programs established involve creating and maintaining databases in the following areas:

TA Patients:

Tracking demographics; number; age; sex

Patient survey

Patient stories

Researchers:

Reaching current/future medical professionals: rheumatologist, vascular, auto immunologist, neurologist, cardiologist, etc.

Obtaining list of possible conference speakers

Establishing scholarship programs

Medical Studies and Articles:

About TA, other vascular or autoimmune diseases which are being or have been published

Track new medical breakthroughs relevant to TA-. medications, diagnostic tools, treatments and with other diseases: Wegners, lupus, etc

Establish networking system of universities, teaching hospitals, etc., currently performing vascular and/or other TA related procedures.
