While individual rare diseases affect populations that are small in numbers, collectively they impact millions globally, posing significant health and research challenges. Real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) have emerged as transformational tools in addressing these hurdles, advancing rare disease drug development.

It is no mystery that as we age our health starts to deteriorate, and we become increasingly susceptible to diseases. Through years of scientific exploration and research, we now know there are several biological changes that make our bodies more susceptible to disease or injury, and we can target those with therapeutic interventions.
