Endo-ERN ePAG Diana Kwast-Hoekstra was recently appointed to the Therapies Scientific Committee of the International Rare Disease Research Consortium (IRDiRC).
“With my nomination and involvement I will be happy to take my acquired knowledge and experiences as a nurse scientist and ePAG at European level and bring it to the attention of the other members of the TSC, in order to achieve the goals of the IRDiRC as much as possible. In my opinion, knowledge and experiences know no boundaries and should always be used to improve care for people with rare conditions.”
The IRDiRC teams up with researchers and organisations investing in rare disease research in order to improve time to diagnosis, expand available treatment options, and assess treatment and therapies.
