Fostering Global Collaboration to Overcome Rare Disease

Planting the seeds for a collaborative ecosystem to nurture the journey
from benchtop science to translational genetic medicine

The problems we aim to solve

Advances in genetic medicine make it possible to treat, or even cure, previously untreatable diseases. Today, fewer than 5% of 8000+ rare genetic diseases have any approved treatment options. Systemic barriers are slowing and stopping the translation of technical innovation into the health and societal benefits of treating patients with a rare disease.

Insufficient Funding

Current funding models discourage investment into smaller patient populations, preventing promising science from advancing to clinical treatment options

Intellectual property Silos

Privately held intellectual property creates an artificial scarcity in available technology, raising costs and restricting the impact of innovations

Globe with pin points across different continents

Executing Clinical Trials

Small and distributed patient populations contribute to unique challenges in defining endpoints, recruiting patients, and measuring therapeutic efficacy

Diluted Workforce

The rapid growth and technical evolution of the research and development ecosystem contributed to a dilution of skilled work force required for advanced therapies

DeSci Applied Research aims to address these problems by enabling scientific collaboration to leverage our strength in numbers; gaining efficiencies, lowering risk, and accelerating positive clinical outcomes

DeSci Applied Research is in an early phase of our journey toward accelerating the field of rare disease research.  We want to work with others who share our passion for innovative science and are committed to putting patients before profits. We hope you connect with us to join this exciting journey of unlocking technical innovations to change the lives of patients around the world.
