About this Event

What happens when we study rare medical disorders? Rare conditions, by their very nature, are not common, leading to people with these afflictions often feeling overlooked. At the same time, researchers are gaining insight and developing new treatments that are raising hopes for those afflicted with some rare disorders. We’ll take a look at the interesting, and often thorny, issues that surround treatment and research of rare disorders with our panel of experts in the field.

Panelists:

Scott McIvor, Genetics, Cell Biology and Development, College of Biological Sciences and University of Minnesota Medical School

Stephen Parente, Finance, Carlson School of Management

Reena Kartha, Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology, and Translational Pharmacology, College of Ph*rm*cy


Doors open at 5:45 p.m. Program starts at 6:15 p.m.

Organized by the University of Minnesota's College of Biological Sciences In collaboration with the Bell Museum.
