The Loizias Foundation

Some conditions are too rare to attract funding, but that doesn't mean they should be forgotten.

We fund research into autoimmune diseases, create pathways for young people to pursue careers in science, and build sustainable resources for generations to come.

A message from Michael

Living with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis and Crohn's Disease has taught me something important: when you face a rare condition, you often face it alone.

Research funding follows large patient populations. Pharmaceutical companies focus where the market is. That leaves millions of people around the world waiting for breakthroughs that may never come.

The Loizias Foundation exists to change that. We fund the overlooked research. We support young people who want to dedicate their careers to solving these problems. And we build resources that will continue this work long into the future.

We Keep Moving Forward.
