The Dubois Memorial Lecture honors a pioneer in the care of SLE and this year will be given by Dr Shaun Jackson. Dr Jackson has spent his career investigating the role of B cells in SLE. He will be discussing the role of B cells in SLE nephritis and how targeting B cells with newer therapies might impact SLE-associated kidney disease. This will be a popular session for both researchers and clinicians.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discuss with a colleague the current understanding of the immunopathogenesis of lupus nephritis with emphasis on B cells
  • Discuss with colleagues or patients the different approaches to B cell depletion and the potential benefits of B cell targeting in lupus nephritis
