Check out the blog that I wrote for National DNA Day. I tried to draw parallels between the obstacles faced in discovering the structure of the DNA molecule to the challenges faced by people living with rare diseases. "Similar to the complexity and elusiveness of DNA’s structure, rare diseases are often shrouded in uncertainty and present complex challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Yet, just as scientists did not give up until DNA’s structure was cracked, rare disease advocates and researchers demonstrate unwavering determination and resolve to continue the fight until every rare disease is understood, treated, and ultimately, cured." https://lnkd.in/e_sYgvv4 #DNADay #raredisease #geneticeducation #patientadvocacy #geneticdisease #careaboutrare #GlobalGenes

Did you know?💡Millions of people worldwide lack information about their rare disease. Improving access to information is crucial for diagnosis and treatment, research, patient empowerment, and support networks for people with rare diseases and their family's. It is a problem that Geneyx Genomex Ltd. and other companies are working to resolve. 🌍🌎🌏Join us to raise awareness about rare diseases. #PersonalizedMedicine #rarediseaseawareness #GeneticResearch #HumanGenetics #MolecularBiology

🌟It’s Rare Disease Day 2024🌟   Today, we honour the 300 million people worldwide living with a rare condition.   We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Genetic Alliance UK in honour of Rare Disease Day. Genetic Alliance campaign for timely diagnosis, better coordinated care, and improved screening, testing, services and treatment.    We supported Genetic Alliance to develop a compelling infographic that aims to raise awareness about current access challenges in rare disease medicines and the challenges faced by patients and their families.   This collaboration brings together our expertise from our Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Tracker with Genetic Alliance's commitment to advancing health through the greater understanding of rare diseases. The Rare Disease Day infographic serves as a visual representation - shedding light on the importance of early diagnosis, proper medical management, and the significance of ongoing research in the field.

Moving beyond traditional culture methods (we do those too), Advanta Genetics utilizes cutting-edge molecular techniques for faster, more sensitive infectious disease detection. Experience the difference precision makes. #MolecularDiagnostics #AdvantaInnovation #HealthcareEvolution Image: 🤖📸🔧: AI-made image w/ human-edits

This research proposed a novel strategy for Disease Evolution-based Specificity Target Discovery (DESTD) to identify specific targets of different stages of disease and specific targets and mechanisms throughout the evolution of COVID-19 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eH7N5rwy

Today, IMol joins the global community in recognizing Rare Disease Day. We appreciate the importance of awareness about the challenges faced by individuals with rare diseases. Our research aims to develop treatments for mitochondrial diseases.   #RareDiseaseDay #IMol #ResearchForRareDiseases Polska Akademia Nauk NCN Narodowe Centrum Nauki Ministerstwo Nauki i Szkolnictwa Wyższego

💡Today, February 29, marks a significant day in healthcare: Rare Disease Day! On this #rarediseaseday, let's spotlight the 300 million people worldwide living with a rare disease. 🌍 Did you know? 🔎Over 6000+ rare diseases have been identified, each presenting unique challenges to patients and healthcare systems. 🔎Crucially, 70% of those genetic rare diseases start in childhood, impacting our most vulnerable from the very beginning. One of the most promising tools in the battle against rare diseases is genetic testing. It's not just a means of diagnosis; it's a gateway to understanding, treating, and managing these conditions more effectively. Genetic testing offers insights that lead to personalized treatment plans, enhancing quality of life and offering hope where there was little before. #RareDiseaseDay #GeneticTesting #HealthcareInnovation

NCATS’ strategy to speed progress in #RareDiseases research goes beyond generating new scientific knowledge. We provide up-to-date, trusted and easy-to-understand resources that educate, engage and empower rare disease patients, their families and their health care providers. Explore our rare diseases resources—like the Genetic and Rare Diseases (#GARD) Information Center, the Rare Diseases Registry (RaDaR) and the Toolkit for Patient-Focused Therapy Development—to find ways to get involved and learn about the latest research: https://go.nih.gov/r0q3Ev7

🌍 On #WorldAspergillosisDay, let's face a stark reality: 2,113,000 people suffer annually, with 85.2% facing death, making 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝑨𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒔 the deadliest fungal disease. David Denning, Professor at The University of Manchester, reveals these alarming statistics in his research paper "Global Incidence and Mortality of Severe Fungal Disease." Lab professionals, our role in molecular diagnostics is crucial in saving lives. Our product, 𝗔𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘂𝘀, has been designed for fast and accurate detection and differentiation of 𝘈𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘴 and azole resistance markers in approximately 1 hour. Let's raise awareness for a healthier future! #WorldAspergillosisDay #MolecularDiagnostics 🧬🔬 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚: Global Incidence and Mortality of Severe Fungal Disease by David W.
