At Bay Area Lyme Foundation, our mission is to find reliable diagnostics and better treatments for Lyme disease. Our belief is that these solutions will come about through innovative research leveraging new technologies and multidisciplinary approaches. We are excited about the new projects that are currently being explored. Lyme disease has long been underfunded, and the time to invest is now.
