PITTSBURGH & ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Knopp Biosciences LLC and the American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders (APFED) today announced a partnership to advance awareness of hypereosinophilic syndromes (HES) and to investigate the challenges facing people with the disease.
The partnership includes a one-day conference for patients with HES, believed to be the first of its kind, to be held March 23, 2018, in the Washington, D.C. area. This event will bring together patients and researchers to discuss the needs and experiences of people with HES, a rare, systemic inflammatory disease caused by increased levels of a type of white blood cell – the eosinophil – implicated in numerous inflammatory diseases. Knopp and APFED will also develop up-to-date educational materials for patients with HES highlighting advances in understanding the causes of and treatments for the disease.
