このコンテンツについて

Join us for this special Rare Disease Day episode of Not Just Patients, where we speak with Jo Balfour, Managing Director and Co-founder of Cambridge Rare Disease Network (CamRARE), about research in rare disease.

Jo is the driving force behind the CamRare's innovative events program, designed to raise awareness about rare diseases and encourage cross-sector collaboration. She manages the organisation's Companies Forum, a networking and knowledge-sharing platform for pharma, biotech, and life science companies, and oversees all other aspects of the charity's research and project work. Additionally, Jo founded the charity's regional rare disease community, Unique Feet, bringing families together in an inclusive and supportive environment.

Listen to this insightful conversation where we discuss the unique challenges faced by people living with rare disease, overcoming barriers to rare disease research, and the value of collaboration between researchers and rare disease patient organisations.
