"Rare diseases in a multidimensional perspective" Conference

For eight years now, as part of the celebration of World Rare Disease Day (rarediseaseday.org),
we have been co-organizing a unique event that brings together experts, researchers, patients and their families.

This year, we invite you to the Conference entitled "Rare diseases in a multidimensional perspective", which will take place on February 28, 2025 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Participation in the event is free of charge, registration is required. The conference will be accompanied by workshops of the School of Molecular Genetics of the IMiD Foundation (registration), which will take place on February 27, 2025 at the IMiD.

The co-organizers of this important event are, in addition to our Institute, the Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Mother and Child, the EB Polska Foundation, the Polish Biochemical Society and the Polish Alzheimer's Society.

This year's conference highlights the complexity of the issue of rare diseases, which require a coordinated approach - from diagnostics through therapy to comprehensive social support. These diseases are not only a medical challenge, but also a scientific, social and therapeutic one. During the conference, we will focus on the issues of access to therapy for Polish patients with rare diseases, the role of basic science and modern technologies, including artificial intelligence, in diagnostics and the creation of targeted drugs, as well as the importance of international cooperation, including the activities of the European Alliance for Rare Disease Research (EJPRD).

Although rare diseases affect a relatively small number of people, their impact on the lives of patients and their families is enormous.

By participating in this Conference, you will be able to learn about the latest achievements in research and therapy of rare diseases and gain insight into the problems of access to treatment and care in Poland. We also hope that participating in the Conference will become an inspiration to build a network of cooperation between scientists, clinicians and patient organizations.
This event is not only a space for exchanging knowledge and experiences, but also an opportunity to strengthen actions to improve the quality of life of patients with rare diseases.
