Where research meets real life.
Where research meets real life.
In the Rheum invites listeners into the world of autoimmune and arthritis research, where bold questions, brilliant scientists, and personal stories meet. Produced by the Arthritis National Research Foundation, each episode explores the breakthroughs shaping the future of care and the people making them happen.
What you’ll hear
Each episode opens a door into the world of early-stage ideas, must-watch breakthroughs, and the people who make them possible. You’ll meet researchers at critical moments in their careers, patients whose stories move the science forward, and leaders reshaping how we understand immunity, inflammation, and chronic disease.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, a longtime patient, a supporter, a scientist, or simply curious, this is a place to learn, to connect, and to feel closer to the future of autoimmune and arthritis research.
Why it matters
Because information is power.
Because understanding your condition shouldn’t require a PhD.
Because science moves faster when people feel included in it.
And because the path to new treatments, and one day, a cure, starts with conversations like these.
