Description
“Rare, but not alone: Together, we can find a cure” – Rare Disease Day Event at iXCells
Light up, stripe up and join us on February 28, 2023.
Mark your calendars! #RareDiseaseDay is right around the corner and we’re proud to host the first “Rare, but not alone: Together, we can find a cure” event to help raise awareness amongst the public about the impact of rare diseases on patients’ lives and to emphasize the need for research.
iXCells is committed to partnering with others to uncover the genetic roots of rare diseases and use those insights to accelerate the pace of preclinical drug development for precision medicine. With projects spanning multiple disease areas, our researchers and scientists are using genetics, a variety of disease-relevant cell systems, including immortalized cell lines and iPSC-derived models to better understand and ultimately discover effective treatments for rare diseases.
We are proud to host this event featuring rare diseases patients’ stories. Our event aims to put a human face on rare disease encouraging you to see the people most affected by rare diseases —patients, families, and caregivers.
The goals of Rare Disease Day at iXCells are to:
Initiate a dialogue among the rare disease community
Bring together key leaders in the rare disease space, industry representatives, patients and patient advocates, scientists, researchers, health care providers, etc.
Exchange the latest rare diseases information to advance research and drug development efforts
Highlight the stories of people living with a rare disease, their families, and their communities
