In the realm of rare disease research, collaboration across disciplines, organization types, and disease types is essential to accelerating progress. Traditionally, scientists have focused on studying individual rare diseases within their specific silos, but as the understanding of genetic, molecular, and therapeutic commonalities across diseases deepens, researchers are increasingly looking to connect and share insights with those studying different rare conditions. By forming cross-disease communities, scientists can foster new ideas, discover shared mechanisms, and catalyze innovative treatments that might otherwise remain isolated within the boundaries of a single disease focus. This panel will explore how scientists are overcoming the challenges of working in rare disease research, how they’re using platforms, technologies, and other community-building strategies to collaborate across disease areas, and the unique benefits that arise from interdisciplinary cooperation. By sharing resources, knowledge, and expertise, scientists are building a collective force that drives more impactful research and quicker advancements toward new treatments.

Participants will:

• Understand how cross-disease collaboration accelerates rare disease research and innovation
• Identify tools and strategies that support interdisciplinary research communities
• Recognize common challenges and solutions in building cross-disease collaborations.

The webinar is expected to run for about 60 minutes.

In the age of digital connection, young people are building vibrant, supportive rare disease communities in ways that previous generations may not immediately recognize. Utilizing technology, social media, and innovative approaches, they are creating spaces for shared experiences, resources, scientific advancement, and advocacy that transcend geographical and generational barriers. These new forms of community are not only providing emotional support but are also driving research, awareness, funding, and policy change in the rare disease landscape. This panel will explore how young individuals are leveraging technology, digital platforms, and new methodologies to redefine what it means to connect, support, research, and advocate in the rare disease community.

Science Webinar participants will:

• Learn how innovative approaches are shaping the future of rare disease care and advocacy
• Explore the evolution of health care and research communities
• Engage with rare disease changemakers who are making their communities more inclusive, collaborative, and forward-thinking.

The webinar is expected to run for about 60 minutes.
