Oxford-Harrington Rare Disease Centre

There are over 7,000 known rare diseases, but fewer than 5% have effective treatments, let alone cures. The limited knowledge and consequent lack of treatments available for rare diseases is a major medical and pediatric emergency.

Rare diseases are collectively common:

One in seventeen people are affected by a rare disease (over 350 million people worldwide)
The majority of rare diseases affect children, and sadly, 30% of rare disease patients die before their fifth birthday.

The Oxford-Harrington Rare Disease Centre will focus efforts on finding treatments and cures for rare diseases that fit within the following criteria:

Affect mainly children and have a genetic basis
Potential of treatments to impact multiple diseases
Thematic priority based on urgency and potential for impact (Neurological Rare Disease, Developmental Rare Diseases, Rare Cancers)
