About this Event
Collectively, rare diseases affect 3.5 million people across the UK. Whilst individually distinct, the research approaches and drug development strategies implemented to understand these diseases often follow a similar pipeline. Additionally, these discoveries provide important insight into disease mechanisms, often with implications for common diseases.
This conference assembles experts from various areas of rare disease research, providing a platform to share knowledge and expertise within the field. This multidisciplinary event will include talks from scientists, clinicians and industry partners, with a common focus of understanding and treating rare diseases.
Early career researchers have the opportunity to submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations, with a prize awarded for the best abstract from an ECR. Please submit your abstract using this link by 10th January 2027.
