Over the past few days, REDRESS 2024 became a hub of discussions, collaborative opportunities, and impactful presentations to ensure a holistic approach to address the RGD burden of India.
The sessions included short talks on diagnostics, therapeutics and disease management for prevalent RGDs, Population & Newborn screening in Indian contexts, and on the status of clinical research on RGDs – its challenges and opportunities.
REDRESS 2024 also witnessed two important panel discussions, one on the Status of orphan drug development, treatment protocols and clinical trials for Rare Diseases in India and the other on Industry perspective on RGD diagnostics and therapeutics in India.
The sessions were led by 42 expert speakers and panelists who shared their insights. Several participants also showcased their contribution to the RGD field via vibrant poster sessions. A total of 53 posters were presented during the 2-day summit.
A heartfelt thank you to our speakers, panelists, poster presenters, patient advocacy groups, attendees and all others for their invaluable contributions and dedication to the RGD field in India.
