4th Crick Rare Diseases Conference 2025

Collectively, rare diseases affect 3.5 million people across the UK. Whilst individually distinct, the research approaches and drug development strategies implemented to understand these diseases often follow a similar pipeline. Additionally, these discoveries provide important insight into disease mechanisms, often with implications for common diseases.

This conference assembles experts from various areas of rare disease research, providing a platform to share knowledge and expertise within the field. This multidisciplinary event will include talks from scientists, clinicians and industry partners, with a common focus of understanding and treating rare diseases.

Talks will cover a wide range of topics including DNA damage, gene therapy, clinical trial design, attracting industry collaborations and more.
