Exciting progress for rare disease research in Ireland💙
A major congratulations to the team in Children’s Health Ireland on the launch of the national Angelman Syndrome ASTRAL study which is an important step toward improving understanding, care, and future treatment access for children, young people and families living with Angelman Syndrome.
This pioneering project will help build Ireland’s first dedicated national dataset for Angelman Syndrome, strengthening research collaboration and preparing the healthcare system for emerging therapies and clinical trials.
A special thank you to the Children’s Health Foundation for funding and supporting vital research like this. Investment in paediatric research has a direct impact on children, families, and the future of healthcare in Ireland.
Research changes lives and this is exactly the kind of collaboration and ambition that creates real impact for patients and families navigating rare conditions every day.
