“This is the time for rare diseases. In the next ten years, I think you’ll see therapies rolling out left and right because it’s just been waiting for the technology to be there. I think we have all the tools. What’s lacking is the funding.” – Clement Chow go.nature.com/3JOQ5Jv

If you’re a senior grad student and want to do a postdoc that could impact the lives of those living with rare disease, the @chowlab could be a good fit! Previous PDs who’ve worked on our projects get snapped up by industry bc of their rare disease and drug experience. DM me!
Fly drug screen results to testing an OTC drug in a kid living with a rare disease. Two weeks on the drug and the parents report meaningful changes.
