SUMMARY:Stories from the Lab: Three African Women Scientists on Building Capacity and Becoming a Leader
DESCRIPTION:About the Webinar \nIn this hour-long fireside chat\, you’ll hear from three African women building scientific capacity in their home countries. Prof. Ibok Oduro\, Dr. Rana M.I. Morsy\, and Dr. Mama Sy tell their stories of innovation. \nComing from three nations and at three stages in their respective careers\, these scientists will discuss their journeys in the lab and academic leadership\, all moderated by Seeding Labs Board Member Kala Subramanian\, PhD. \n  \nTickets are free but space is limited.

SUMMARY:10th Annual Rare Disease Day Event: An Era of Innovation for Rare Diseases
DESCRIPTION:The event will take place on Tuesday\, February 25\, 2025 from 1:30 – 5:00pm ET in the Merkin Building at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard (415 Main Street\, Cambridge\, MA 02142) and streamed online. Registration will begin at 1:00pm\, the speaking program will be held from 1:30 – 5:00pm in the Merkin Auditorium\, and a reception will follow from 5:00 – 6:00pm in the Broad Discovery Center. \nThis year\, the Broad Institute’s Ladders to Cures Scientific Accelerator in collaboration with The Termeer Foundation are hosting the 10th Annual Rare Disease Day Event: An Era of Innovation for Rare Diseases\, featuring opening remarks from Anna Greka and Belinda Termeer\, and a lineup of speakers from the rare disease space including Anne Carpenter\, Richard Novak\, Arya Rao\, Effie Parks\, Tinashe Chandauka\, Bart Scheerder\, Nathan Guo\, Ada Lio\, Avanthi Raghavan\, and Masako Nakamura. \nRare genetic diseases are collectively common: they affect 1 in 10 people in North America. While more than 8\,000 genes are known to drive these diseases\, fewer than 500 have an available treatment. The mismatch in these numbers underscores the urgent need to disrupt the status quo and develop new approaches to deliver precision cures at scale. \nThe Ladders to Cures Scientific Accelerator is committed to uncovering the genetic roots of rare diseases and to using those insights to develop new treatments. With projects spanning multiple disease areas\, Broad scientists are using genetics\, functional genomics\, computational biology\, and chemical biology to better understand and ultimately seek effective treatments for rare diseases. \nBuilding on the bold legacy of Henri Termeer\, who pioneered groundbreaking treatments for rare diseases\, The Termeer Foundation is a nonprofit organization working to connect the world of healthcare innovators until every patient has a cure. \nIf you have any questions regarding the event or an accessibility request\, please reach out to Katie Liguori at kliguori@broadinstitute.org.
