MISSION STATEMENT: The APS Type 1 Foundation unites and empowers a global community to drive awareness, education, and groundbreaking research for APS Type 1, transforming lives affected by this rare autoimmune disorder.
The APS Type 1 Foundation was started by a group of dedicated parents who were determined to ensure that their children received the best care possible and that no one should have to wait for a diagnosis or treatment for APS Type 1.
Since our founding in 2012, our community has grown to include patients, family members, loyal friends, caregivers, dedicated doctors, and scientists.
We support education, awareness and fundraising for critical research in APS Type 1.
We have hosted five international symposia bringing families and researchers together. In 2022, we hosted our inaugural internet research summit. We are building a global research network on APS Type 1.
