About the Center
Lupus Center of Excellence History
On October 22, 2001, in a bold stroke for autoimmune research, the University of Pittsburgh launched the Lupus Center of Excellence. Mark Zeidel, MD, chair of the Department of Medicine, formally announced establishment of the Center during a reception at Pittsburgh's Duquesne Club. In his welcoming remarks, Arthur Levine, MD, senior vice chancellor for health sciences and dean of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, emphasized the objective of the Lupus Center of Excellence to centralize lupus research and invited all to become allies in fighting this debilitating disease.
