2019 Rare Disease Day Cambridge Lecture
Put over 150 passionate and motivated people together to talk about rare disease research and you can expect a fascinating evening.
That’s just what happened at the recent public evening, hosted by Cambridge Rare Disease Network in collaboration with the NIHR BioResource for Translational Research at Addenbrooke’s Hospital to mark International Rare Disease Day 2019.


Short research talks were followed by a Q+A panel facilitated by Dr. Gemma Chandratillake, CamRARE Trustee (pictured left)
