Findacure’s Drug Repurposing for Rare Diseases Conference, now in its seventh year, showcases excellence in the development of repurposed drugs for rare disease patients.

Held annually in recognition of Rare Disease Day, the conference shares groundbreaking drug repurposing projects, highlights the potential for patient group-led innovation, and emphasises repurposing as a valid business model for orphan drug development.

We pride ourselves on our friendly, engaged and collaborative atmosphere – if you care about rare, this is the event for you!

"Overall, a really informative and engaging conference with a diverse range of topics. Thank you for all the work in putting it together. I am hopeful that attending patient groups and companies will go away with several take aways."

"This was my first time attending a Findacure event and I would like to say thank you. It was well organised, had interesting and diverse speakers with different perspectives, and a lot of interesting topics covered in the presentations."

"Findacure always hold great events catered for the rare disease space. Tiny patient groups rubbing shoulders with industry representatives and actually having real conversations is invaluable."

"The mixture of talks from both patient groups and industry gave a broad perspective and raised important issues for the field to consider. All the speakers gave clear accessible and insightful talks."

"One of the best conferences on rare diseases in Europe. It is critical to get us all together in beating these terrible conditions and understand the patient impact."

"There was so much knowledge and experience in that room today - we need to harness it in an easily accessible forum so that we don't re-invent the wheel."
