SUMMARY:UConn 2026 Rare Disease Day
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that 1 in 10 people in the United States are living with a rare disease?\nThat’s more than 10 million individuals who have already been diagnosed. \nAnd yet\, despite this prevalence\, the average person waits 5–8 years before receiving an accurate diagnosis. \nSo… what exactly is a rare disease? And why does it take so long to diagnose one? \nJoin us for UConn’s inaugural Rare Disease Day Symposium to find out. \nThis event offers a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of rare diseases and hear directly from members of the rare disease community—including patients\, physicians\, scientists\, and artists. Panelists will also lead breakout sessions exploring a wide range of topics connected to rare disease advocacy\, research\, lived experience\, and creative expression. Many discussions will extend beyond medicine\, highlighting the diverse and interdisciplinary nature of the rare disease landscape. \nAn art and research gallery will also be open throughout the event\, featuring work from local rare disease artists and showcasing the latest research innovations at UConn.
