ResearchUGent started off the RARE-MED consortium on precision medicine for rare diseases with 3 new research professors Sarah Vergult, Kris Vleminckx & Frauke Coppieters. Looking forward to addressing missing heritability, modeling disease, and introducing new gene therapies!
RARE-MED is a multidisciplinary consortium for basic and translational research on precision medicine for rare diseases, to address missing heritability using systems genetics and functional genomics, to facilitate disease modelling using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing of aquatic model organisms (zebrafish, Xenopus) and of cellular systems, to introduce new gene therapies based on antisense oligonucleotide- or CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing. RARE-MED will bring UGent in a unique strategic position as an international reference center for rare disease Comments are closed.
