RDCRN 3rd Conference on Clinical Research for Rare Diseases, October 2, 2012
Location: Hilton Washington DC/Rockville Hotel & Executive Meeting Center, Rockville, MD Description: Clinical research in rare diseases presents a number of challenges and unique issues that are not usually considered in the training of clinical investigators through existing training programs. Goals of the conference include: direct instruction of trainees and new investigators in rare disease research methodology; development of a reusable curriculum/syllabus on rare disease research methodology; and stimulation of ideas regarding the unique issues facing investigators engaged in the study of rare diseases.

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia and Overlapping Syndromes, September 30, 2010 - October 1, 2010
Location: Eric P. Newman Education Center, Washington University Medical Center, St. Louis, MO Description: The four main objectives of this international conference were to (1) optimize diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) through standardization of diagnostic testing, (2) define PCD genes and gene mutations through global networking, (3) optimize clinical care of PCD patients and develop clinical research networks to test therapies through clinical trials, and (4) refine nomenclature for ciliopathies and define overlapping features. Another goal was to establish PCD centers of excellence that will participate in research as well as clinical care. Given the lack of evidence in best clinical care, establishing a clinical trial network is urgently needed. Good medical management in a specialized PCD diagnostic and treatment center will probably provide the PCD patient with the best chance for preservation of lung function over time.
