A beacon of hope for the rare disease community
Basic laboratory research in rare diseases leads to understanding the molecular mechanisms that cause disease.
The Center supports rare disease patients and families in their quest for knowledge, resources, support and treatments.
Drawing on the strength of Notre Dame's strong undergraduate education, students participate in research and training opportunities, which provide meaningful experiences for students as their work supports the Center's mission.
Rare disease research can be as uncommon as the diseases themselves, but Notre Dame is committed to understanding, treating, and advocating for those affected by rare diseases.
