Lupus: Diagnosis, Treatment & the Future of Immunotherapy | Dr. Joy Buie
In this special GOTEL (Game On to End Lupus) charity campaign episode, SciAnts_Streams welcomes Dr. Joy Buie for a deep dive into the biology and treatment of lupus. Dr. Buie explains how autoimmune disease develops, why lupus is uniquely difficult to diagnose, and how modern immunology research is reshaping treatment strategies.
The conversation explores the role of B cells, T cells, inflammation, genetics, hormones, environmental triggers, and epigenetics in lupus progression, while also unpacking promising therapies including biologics, interferon-targeting drugs, monoclonal antibodies, and CAR T-cell therapies currently under investigation.
Blending accessible explanations with advanced scientific discussion, this episode highlights both the complexity of lupus and the cutting-edge research offering new hope for patients and families affected by autoimmune disease.
