There are nearly 7,000 rare diseases, more than half of which affect children, and only 5% of which have FDA-approved treatments. Together, they are anything but rare, afflicting an estimated 30 million Americans. Stem cell research has opened a new window into rare diseases and treatment possibilities. Join Matt Wilsey (Chairman, President & Co-founder, Grace Science Foundation), Leena Panwala (President and Co-founder, INADcure Foundation), and Daniel Paull, PhD (Senior Vice President, Discovery and Platform Development, NYSCF) to hear about the unique challenges faced by rare disease patients and how stem cell research is advancing treatments and cures. This discussion will be moderated by NYSCF’s Associate Vice President of Scientific Outreach, Raeka Aiyar, PhD.
