    Advocacy in rare disease: Closing the funding gap

    Public–private partnerships also play a key role in closing the funding gap. They can facilitate knowledge-sharing, resource-pooling, and joint efforts toward finding effective treatments and cures. Advocating for international cooperation is another key strategy. Establishing global networks and collaborations that include venture capitalists and banks can facilitate the sharing of research findings, best practices, and funding opportunities. International funding bodies and foundations can also prioritize rare disease research and encourage collaboration across borders. In this panel discussion, participants will: Learn how closing the funding gap in rare diseases requires a multi-faceted approach Hear strategies for increasing government funding, collaboration among stakeholders, and international cooperation Get information on how rare disease research can benefit not only those with rare diseases and their communities, but the wider world as well. More info in our website : https://www.fondation-ipsen.org/webinar/webinar-advocacy-in-rare-disease-closing-the-funding-gap/ This podcast was adapted from a webinar co-organized by AAAS Science Magazine and Fondation Ipsen.

    Advocacy in rare disease: Surveying the landscape

    In this podcast, first episode in the 2023 Science/AAAS Fondation Ipsen series on advocacy in rare disease, our guests examine the advocacy landscape, asking: what does advocacy entail, who are advocates, what organizations are involved with rare disease advocacy, what determines how umbrella organizations allocate resources, and what is effective—examining success stories of when advocacy has worked. With:  Durhane Wong-Rieger, Ph.D. (Canadian Organization for Rare Disorders (CORD), Ontario, Canada) Michael Manganiello (Pyxis Partners, Washington, DC) Marc C. Patterson, M.D. (Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN) Flaminia Macchia, M.A. (Roche, Brussels, Belgium) And Erika Gebel Berg, Ph.D., our moderator Hosted on Ausha.

    Humanizing the support of patients living with a Rare Disease

    "The profoundly personal side of rare disease: Humanizing the therapeutic journey of patients" : a free podcast recorded during a webinar organized by Science Magazine and Fondation Ipsen. Health care systems are not equipped to provide the psychological and social support patients need. Genetic counseling is complex in the setting of undiagnosed patients. Layered on this is the complexity of supporting the mental or physical disabilities that many patients with a rare disease must manage, whether they have a diagnosis or not. The humanistic support of patients with rare diseases and their families needs to improve. In this webinar, you’ll meet experts who struggle with these issues and can help guide us on how to do better. Our guests: Kathleen Bogart, Ph.D. (Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon) Amrit Ray, M.D., M.B.A. (Physician researcher/Rare disease advocate, New Haven, CT) Alanna Yee (Encephalitis411, Edmonton, Canada) Hosted on Ausha.

    The urgent need to internationalize databases for rare disease patients

    During this podcast (recorded during a webinar co-organized by Fondation Ipsen and Science Magazine), our guests (all experts in rare disease) discussed about the need of patient registries. There is no international database on rare disease genotypes, no standardized nomenclature for phenotypes, and not even an agreed-upon consent process to acquire, store, and maintain such data. This deficit disadvantages patients and thwarts the development of new therapies. A universal approach is needed to gather, store, and share phenotypic and genotypic data for rare diseases. We require an accepted, trustworthy system that protects patient identities while sharing critical data needed to advance diagnosis and treatment. This free webinar will interrogate global experts on how to drive this unmet and urgent need forward. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

    Doing better where it counts: Bringing rare disease care to underserved populations

    We are on the brink of new solutions that include accessing specialized care through telemedicine, diagnosis through mail-in specimens, and computer-aided remote phenotyping. This webinar discusses how new systems and technologies can close the chasm that prohibits those with rare diseases living in underserved countries and communities from getting critically needed care. https://www.fondation-ipsen.org/webinar/webinar-bringing-rare-disease-care-to-underserved-populations/ with: Consuelo Wilkins, M.D., MSCI (Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN) Linda Goler Blount, M.P.H. (Black Women’s HealthImperative, Atlanta, GA) Nakela L. Cook, M.D., M.P.H. (Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), Washington, DC) Jamie Sullivan, M.P.H. (EveryLife Foundation, Washington, DC) Sean Sanders, Ph.D. (Science/AAAS, Washington, DC; moderator) This podcast is adapted from a webinar broadcast by Science magazine, with the sponsorship of Fondation Ipsen.

    Where hope knocks: Personalized therapies in rare disease

    New drug design methodologies allow us to contemplate designer medicines for very small groups of patients or even individuals. The future holds promise for the rare disease community because modern biotech can build bespoke (customized) therapies. Are we at the dawn of personalized treatments being widely available for individual patients? This poses a broader question: Just as every person is unique, could all medicines become so too? This podcast is the audio recording of a webinar launched by AAAS / Science Magazine and Fondation Ipsen. With: Genine Winslow, M.Sc. (Chameleon Biosciences, San Anselmo, CA)Tiina Urv, Ph.D. (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD)Viviana Giannuzzi, Pharm.D., Ph.D. (Fondazione Gianni Benzi Onlus, Bari, Italy)Sean Sanders, Ph.D. (Science/AAAS, Washington, DC) Hosted on Ausha.

    Combating the fragmentation of data and disciplines: Innovation hubs to address rare diseases

    This podcast is adapted from a webinar launched by Science Magazine, with the support of Fondation Ipsen. Innovation hubs could provide a viable option to leverage common goals and opportunities, providing shared protocols for handling phenotypic, clinical, and genetic data, while also prioritizing and amplifying the voices of patients living with a rare disease. They could bring together the best international policy structures to streamline efficient and effective medical and scientific advances in rare disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment. This webinar brings together key opinion leaders to discuss the current and future needs of patients, and how innovators, doctors, scientists, drugmakers, and policymakers can work efficiently together to deliver solutions to the millions of diagnosed and undiagnosed patients in need.   With:Marshall Summar, M.D. (Children’s National Hospital, Washington, DC)Zizi Imatorbhebhe, M.B.A., M.S., P.M.P (ERGOMED PLC, Raleigh, NC)Anna Lehman, M.D. (University of British Columbia and Vancouver General Hospital, Vancouver, Canada)Vinodh Narayanan, M.D. (TGen, Phoenix, Arizona)Sean Sanders, Ph.D. (Moderator, Science/AAAS, Washington, DC) Hosted on Ausha.
