Community Engagement
People living with rare disease are the reason we exist
It takes a village
The rare disease community is vital to the discovery of new treatments.
We value direct conversation and engagement with people and groups from around the world, and their shared voice helps steer our drug discovery and development programmes.
Dr Bruce BloomWe continue to be a part of the rare disease community and work closely with patient groups on all of our disease projects, provide new resources for them, and support our colleagues who have a rare disease or care for family members with one.
You are the experts
We are always eager to increase our patient group collaborations for the diseases we're working on. Alongside our work with various patient organisations on treatment development projects, we engage and support rare disease groups and their families through events, webinars and other educational content.
Advocating for the rare disease community is one of our core values and we encourage our team to take volunteering days to help out with rare disease charities and projects.
