Seminar Description:
Join us for an insightful and engaging webinar where we will explore the groundbreaking work of two trailblazing organizations, the Raiden Science Foundation and the Spoonbill Foundation. These non-profits are at the forefront of advancing medical research and therapies for rare genetic diseases.
Tommy Pham, Co-Founder and President of the Raiden Science Foundation, and Penny Hogarth, Co-Founder and former President of the Spoonbill Foundation, will delve into the innovative approaches these organizations are using to break down the traditional barriers of medical research, which often include limited funding, small patient populations, and regulatory challenges. We will discuss how they leverage cutting-edge technologies, foster global collaboration, and employ unique funding models to accelerate the development of effective treatments.
Whether you're a researcher, healthcare professional, or simply interested in the future of medical science, this webinar will provide valuable insights and inspire new ways of thinking about rare disease treatment and research.
