Since its inception, The LAM Foundation has invested over $18 million in LAM research with one of the biggest breakthroughs resulting in a current treatment. Progress and hope remain with The LAM Foundation’s current research portfolio of 15 active grants. Dr. Vera Krymskaya, Scientific Director for The LAM Foundation gave us the roadmap for LAM research as we continue to move forward in our fight for a cure.

The LAM Foundation’s initial investment of $12 million in scientific grants has led to an additional $90 million in federal funding for LAM research. A notable example of this multiplier effect is Dr. Vera
Krymskaya, whose lab received a seed grant that yielded a remarkable 1:16 return on investment. This funding was instrumental in pioneering the research that paved the way to the FDA-approved treatment, rapamycin.

When you donate to The LAM Foundation you help researchers gather crucial data, apply for large grants, and accelerate the search for better treatments and a cure.

For 29 years, The LAM Foundation has been dedicated to increasing awareness, accelerating research, and finding a cure for lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Foundation-funded research has enabled patients to live longer and healthier than ever with LAM. But we must do more. That’s why we host the annual Day of Giving, where 100% of every dollar raised is directed to LAM research.
