Omschrijving
Een zeldzame ziekte treft per definitie minder dan één persoon op 2.000. Wereldwijd zijn er meer dan 7.000 zeldzame ziekten beschreven, die samen tot 8% van de bevolking treffen. Concreet betekent dit dat ongeveer 800.000 Belgen lijden aan een zeldzame ziekte. Hoewel ze dus individueel zelden voorkomen, vormen ze als groep een belangrijke uitdaging voor de gezondheidszorg. De zeldzaamheid van deze ziekten brengt echter specifieke uitdagingen met zich mee, zowel op vlak van diagnosestelling, zorg, behandeling maar ook op vlak van onderzoek.
Het inter- en multidisciplinair onderzoeksconsortium voor zeldzame ziekten beoogt de uitmuntende expertise in het domein van zeldzame ziekten aanwezig aan het UGent en UZ Gent te bundelen en nieuwe opportuniteiten te creëren met betrekking tot fundamenteel, klinisch en translationeel onderzoek naar precisiegeneeskunde voor zeldzame ziekten.
Verder zet het consortium zich ook in voor onder meer:
- Het optimaliseren van de interactie tussen onderzoek en kliniek
- Het opleiden en ondersteunen van (jonge) onderzoekers
- Valorisatie van het onderzoek
- Het fungeren als aanspreekpunt voor verschillende stakeholders.
