International Sjögren's Registry Launched

The the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, National Eye Institute, and the NIH Office for Research on Women’s Health have given the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) School of Dentistry a five-year $11.9 million award to establish an international registry network to study Sjögren’s syndrome. The award will support creation of the Sjögren’s International Clinical Collaborative Alliance.

“The new international Alliance will benefit significant numbers of Americans and others around the world who suffer from the chronic symptoms and complications of the disease,” said Troy Daniels, DDS, professor of dentistry at UCSF, a member of the SSF Medical & Scientific Advisory Board, and one of two principal investigators on the project.
