The mission of the LAM Australia is to seek a cure for the rare lung disease, lymphangioleiomyomatosis, referred to as LAM.
LAM Australia is based in Australia and working to strengthen links across the Asia-Pacific region and throughout the world.
LAM Australia aims to facilitate correct diagnosis of LAM by familiarising medical practitioners with the rare condition, to support women who have been diagnosed, and to fund research to accelerate the discovery of a cure for LAM.
