RESEARCH UPDATE
2015 promises to be an exciting year for research!

FDRS and LE&RN are offering 3 fellowships later this year on lipedema and Dercum's Disease. Although we think of them as adipose tissue disorders, the lymphatic system and adipose tissue are highly entwined.  LE&RN's site

We have our irons in the fire for two additional research projects.
We will see you soon!

Laura, Nancy, Yvonne & Felicitie
