From CUAnchutz:
This brings real hope to all current and future autoimmune patients
Amanda Piquet, MD, of #CUAnschutz wants people with autoimmune neurological disorders to know that they aren’t alone. Through patient care, research and collaboration, she dreams to improve life for everyone impacted by the autoimmune disorders that affect the brain and spinal cord.
In 2024, the Céline Dion Foundation gifted $2 million to CU Anschutz to advance autoimmune neurological research in gratitude for the care the superstar has received from Dr. Piquet throughout her journey with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS).
The duo sat down together to discuss what the gift means for the future of SPS and other related neurological diseases. Video not available
