Even after a rare disease diagnosis, understanding the specific gene variant can help guide care decisions and connect with clinical studies focused on specific genetic changes. Clear, accurate genetic information empowers more informed choices.

#JPMWeek always sharpens the focus on what matters next. I’m excited to join this live conversation about how new genetic modalities move from powerful ideas to real medicines, and what it takes to push the field forward with ambition and conviction.

As a rare disease mom, I know how much it matters when progress starts to feel real. In 2025, Alltrna took big leaps to advance our first #tRNA medicine towards the clinic. I’m deeply proud of this team and energized by what lies ahead!

The first 25 years of @Flagship Pioneering have proven the power of bold ideas to change medicine. The next 25 are about Bigger Leaps—taking on the greatest challenges in science so that no patient, with a rare or common disease, is left without the chance at a breakthrough.

Thanks @Drug Target Review for spotlighting Alltrna’s approach to broadening the reach of genetic medicines. We need to move beyond one-disease, one-drug thinking and #tRNA therapeutics can help us address the severe unmet need in rare and ultra-rare diseases. #RNAsky

When my son was diagnosed with #Duchenne, patient groups helped me find my way — and today, patients and families continue to inspire my work at @alltrna.bsky.social‬. In this @Science.org webinar, I share what I learned when my personal and professional journeys converged.

Advocacy is not just about raising awareness – it’s driving the science forward. I am proud to join incredible voices at #BIO2025 to explore how patients and families are accelerating innovation in rare disease drug development.

My son’s diagnosis shook my world – but clarified my purpose. As rare disease drug development faces real headwinds, we can’t slow down. We need faster, scalable innovation – and to raise our voices to keep rare disease a priority.

At @alltrna.bsky.social, we’re pioneering a new approach to medicine with tRNA–driven by science and inspired by patients. I shared more about my journey and purpose with BioSpace.

Developing personalized medicines is critical for tackling rare diseases, but pursuing a one-drug-per-disease paradigm for the 6,000+ rare genetic conditions is an untenable strategy. Nerissa, Alltrna’s CMO, explains our novel way of addressing this challenge by leveraging tRNA’s unique biology.

Rare diseases affect 350M people worldwide, yet 95% have no FDA-approved treatment. We need a bold new approach—and collaboration among all the stakeholders. The time to act is now. I explain more in this editorial for @fortune.com: fortune.com/2025/03/10/r...

My son’s rare disease diagnosis spurred me to ditch Big Pharma for a biotech startup
Most individuals diagnosed with a rare disease won’t live to become teenagers or adults. I knew what I had to do.

Never underestimate the power of patients and their families. They are a real force to be reckoned with, and they have so much valuable insight to impart. I appreciate all of the engagement I have had within the rare disease community over the past few years, both personally and professionally.

I do think that “cures” exist for many patients living with rare diseases. The technology is out there. We've just got to move it forward, and move it forward with a sense of urgency to really make a difference for these families.

At Alltrna, we're so invested in our work, because we know we're doing exciting science that could have a very profound impact on patients that's unlike anything else that exists today.
