Our Work
Three pillars of lasting change
Our approach combines immediate research funding with long-term capacity building—investing in people and resources that will continue creating impact for generations.
Autoimmune Research Funding
Rare autoimmune conditions often lack the research funding they need. Patient populations are small. Commercial interest is limited. Government grants favour studies with broader impact.
We fund promising research directly—supporting scientists and institutions working on conditions like Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis, rare forms of inflammatory bowel disease, and other autoimmune disorders that struggle to attract mainstream investment.
Our focus is on practical, translatable research: work that has a real chance of improving treatments or quality of life for patients within our lifetime.
Scholarships & Mentorship
Medical research needs talented, dedicated people. But access to advanced education—especially in scientific fields—is often limited by economic circumstances.
Our scholarship programme supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds who want to pursue careers in medical and scientific research. We don't just provide funding; we create pathways through mentorship, networking, and ongoing support.
The goal is simple: remove financial barriers so that talent and determination are what matter most. The researchers of tomorrow shouldn't be limited by where they started.
Sustainable Investment
Charitable work often depends on continuous fundraising. When donations slow, programmes suffer. Important research gets delayed or cancelled.
We're taking a different approach. Alongside our immediate funding activities, we're building a long-term investment portfolio within the foundation. This portfolio is designed to grow over time, generating returns that can sustain our mission indefinitely.
The goal is perpetuity. We want The Loizias Foundation to continue funding research and supporting young scientists for generations—long after the initial fundraising efforts.
