Save the date for our July 29 event! 🍻
De-extinction hit the headlines recently with the ‘resurrection’ of the dire wolf. However, can scientists actually de-extinct animals, and more importantly, should they bring them back?
Many rare conditions have a genetic cause – sometimes affecting only a handful of families worldwide. By studying these rare genetic blueprints, researchers uncover vital clues about human biology and pave the way for earlier diagnosis, personalised treatments, and new therapies.
Launching today on #RareDiseaseDay – RARITY (Research Alliance for Rare Illness Translational Pathways), a new research theme focused on translating rare disease research into real-world impact! Follow us to stay connected.
