On October 18, 2023, GlobalSkin hosted a webinar titled "A New Approach to Rare Skin Disease Drug Discovery". Development of treatments in dermatology is rarely considered a high priority by medical professionals and researchers, particularly rare skin diseases. Patient organizations looking to increase research and find treatments for rare skin diseases face the challenges of scale, scarce data, political issues, and declines in orphan drug designations in the world of rare skin diseases.
We would like to extend our appreciation to the presenters from Rarebase PBC, Joyce Teng, MD, PhD, Professor of Dermatology & Pediatrics at Stanford University and Christopher Moxham, PhD, CEO & Chief Scientific Officer at Rarebase PBC.
