Relapsing Polychondritis Foundation Continues to Advance RP Research Through Additional Investments in the PURPOSE Biobank

David Bammert
March 19, 2025

The RP Foundation is pleased to share an exciting new initiative that we’re continuing to invest in the PURPOSE Biobank and Data Repository, that we believe will advance RP and related autoimmune disease research. PURPOSE Biobank is a unique direct-to-patient initiative to collect blood specimens and medical information from individuals with RP and related autoimmune diseases with the goal of accelerating the discovery of improved diagnostic tests, therapies and ultimately a cure.

This cutting-edge initiative evolved from a unique collaboration between the Relapsing Polychondritis Foundation, Allegheny Health Network Autoimmunity Institute, Highmark Health, patients with RP, and their families and friends. PURPOSE is deeply committed to empowering patients with RP by providing them with the opportunity to play a key role in advancing autoimmune disease research.

Together, we believe we are advancing the path to a cure. To learn more about the PURPOSE Biobank and Data Repository, log onto https://purposebiobank.org/
