Advancing Treatments for Rare Diseases
Our mission is to transform the lives of rare disease patients by intelligently matching drug treatments.
Drug Repurposing Open Call
We've launched a Drug Repurposing Open Call with our partners Findacure, Cures Within Reach and CureAccelerator. Are you a patient group, researcher or clinician with a drug repurposing idea for a rare disease? We want to help you.

Drug Repurposing vs Traditional Drug Discovery
Drug repurposing is the analysis of drugs already approved to treat one condition to see if they can be safe and effective for treating other diseases. Many drugs already on the market have been repurposed, examples include Aspirin, Thalidomide and the famous example Viagra which was co-invented by the Healx Chair, Dr David Brown.
