Abstract

Following the sell-out success of its first summit in 2015, the Cambridge Rare Disease Network is bringing international leaders and local experts together in Cambridge to bridge the gap between research, industry, business and patient groups.

Anchored by powerful patient voices, this one-day conference will explore:

international rare disease innovations new rare disease initiatives on the horizon innovations in health and science engaging and collaborating with pharma

A wide delegate base, representing academia, healthcare, industry, business, patients support groups and more will allow delegates to explore potential collaborations and gain a broader understanding of opportunities in rare diseases.

We’re also thrilled to host ‘Beyond the Diagnosis’: a travelling art exhibition featuring stunning portraits of children with rare and undiagnosed conditions. Led by US-based Rare Disease United, the highly acclaimed exhibit has toured art galleries and medical schools across the USA to raise awareness of all 7,000 rare diseases. This is its first time to the UK.
