Our colleague Dimitrios Kyriakidis attended a highly instructive and insightful course on rare diseases this week. Organized by Marisol Montolio, the Scientific Director of the University of Barcelona (UB) Chair on Rare Diseases, the course offered a comprehensive program. Topics included an introduction to rare diseases, clinical and genetic diagnosis, the importance of clinical research, drug repositioning, and the creation of spin-offs from academic research. Dimitrios emphasized the importance of developing better, faster, and more affordable companion diagnostics for rare diseases, which would pave the way for more treatments and help many families living with the burden of these conditions. Special thanks to the esteemed presenters: Francina Munell, Lidia González-Quereda, Laura Sánchez Cenizo, Albert Martínez, Raúl Insa, Alba Parejo and Francesc Palau. #genetics #genomics #screening #diagnostics #rarediseases #geneticdisorders #healthcare #innovation #healthtech #AI #artificialintelligence #machinelearning #companiondiagnostics #precisionmedicine #VC #venturecapital Vall d’Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR) - Vall d'Hebron Institut de Recerca, Institut de Formació Contínua IL3 - Universitat de Barcelona (UB) Hospital Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona
