That landscape is beginning to change. In this episode of the Autoimmune Wellness Podcast, Mickey Trescott is joined by Dr. Victoria Shanmugam, rheumatologist, physician-scientist, and Director of the Office of Autoimmune Disease Research (OADR) at the National Institutes of Health. Created by Congress in 2023, the OADR was established to coordinate autoimmune disease research across the NIH and help accelerate progress in understanding, treating, preventing, and ultimately curing autoimmune diseases. Together, Mickey and Dr. Shanmugam discuss why the office was created, how autoimmune research is evolving, and the most promising areas of innovation currently underway. They explore everything from environmental triggers and large-scale data platforms to early disease detection, CAR-T therapies, and the future of personalized autoimmune medicine. This conversation offers a hopeful and practical look at where autoimmune research is headed—and what that progress could mean for patients over the next decade. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the Office of Autoimmune Disease Research was created and what its mission is How autoimmune diseases intersect with every organ system and NIH research institute What the first NIH-wide Strategic Plan for Autoimmune Disease Research includes Why studying multiple autoimmune diseases together may accelerate discoveries How environmental exposures may influence autoimmune disease risk and progression The role of large-scale…","meta_description":"Episode 89: The Future of Autoimmune Research with Victoria Shanmugam, Director of the Office of Autoimmune Disease Research Autoimmune disease affects an…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1930,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-autoimmune-wellness-podcast-7400858/episodes/the-future-of-autoimmune-research-with-victoria-shanmugam-director-of-the-office-of-autoimmune-disease-research-ep-089/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-autoimmune-wellness-podcast-7400858/the-future-of-autoimmune-research-with-victoria-shanmugam-director-of-the-office-of-autoimmune-disease-research-ep-089.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
