New hDMT / RARE‑NL Theme Group ‘human models for rare diseases’

Van derden

16/11/26

Are you working on rare diseases and interested in human models to translate your findings from the lab into a new therapy? Or do you want to explore if your methods and models are suitable for this purpose? Then this Theme Group is for you!

The field of rare diseases provides an excellent environment for advanced human disease models to mature, become standardized, and demonstrate clear translational relevance. This ultimately supports the path from preclinical research to patients. Unlike most of the existing theme groups within hDMT this meeting is not limited to a specific organ or disease model. Instead, it focuses on the role of disease models in therapy development for rare diseases.

During the meeting you are invited to share your work, learn about the role of human models in therapy development for rare diseases and how you can apply this to your own project.

With this new theme group we aim to:

• Share ongoing research on the development of relevant human models for rare diseases
• Share ongoing research on the use of human rare disease models to identify therapeutic leads
• Determine the role of human models in therapy development for rare diseases
• Discuss concrete next steps for your own therapy development project
