Join us for our upcoming Rare Disease Grand Round hosted by the King's Health Partners Rare Disease Network
The King's Health Partners Rare Disease Network brings together research and clinical groups across the region, facilitating networking opportunities and creating a collaborative environment for cross organisational rare disease research. By enhancing collaboration, scale, and impact of research, the network aims to attract future investment in translational rare diseases research.
Don't miss this opportunity to join members of the King's Health Partners research and clinical community, and hear from experts involved in rare diseases research.
This will be an online event and the session will be recorded for later viewing on the King's Health Partners learning hub.
