The Path to Affordable Therapeutics in Rare Disease – Tackling Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation in the PMM2 gene.
Rare diseases are just that: rare. However, when combined rare diseases affect 3.5% – 5.9% of the worldwide population, and present a growing healthcare issue. In this article we talk with Dr Sangetha lyer about her work at the biotech Perlara and highlight their recent successes in a drug repurposing campaign for PMM2-CDG.
Our 2020 In Numbers
Before we put 2020 in the rearview mirror, let’s take a look at everything we were able to accomplish!
C. elegans CV
When you have to apply for a new job, you are asked to provide a resume, CV, and a cover letter. So why then aren’t you asking the same of the model organisms you are using? We put together a fun, yet very informative, C. elegans CV for you to learn more about the small worm and why it makes an ideal model for studying human diseases.
Homeschool Science Resources for Parents and Kids
Teachers and parents are looking at a back-to-school season unlike any they’ve experienced before, but remote learning doesn’t have to negatively effect a child’s education. Check out this list of apps, websites, and podcasts all focused on science and experiential learning for children
Zebrafish CV
When you have to apply for a new job, you are asked to provide a resume, CV, and a cover letter. So why then aren’t you asking the same of the model organisms you are using? We put together a fun, yet very informative, Zebrafish CV for you to learn more about the small fish and why it makes an ideal model for studying human diseases.
