Research

Part of NAAF’s mission is to encourage research in alopecia areata, striving to find a cure or acceptable treatment. NAAF accomplishes the research mission by funding an acclaimed research grant program, seeking out investigators in the areas of genetics, immunology and clinical research. NAAF’s research program is committed to piecing together the puzzle presented by alopecia areata.

NAAF has been at the forefront of many fruitful studies that yielded answers to some of the largest questions surrounding the autoimmune disease. We are committed to continuing this search until all of the questions about alopecia areata have been answered and the mechanisms of this disease are clearly understood.
