À propos de cet audio

 In this episode of Rare Awareness Radio, host Richard Juknavorian speaks with Dr. Clement Chow, Associate Professor of Human Genetics at the University of Utah School of Medicine. Dr. Chow and his team are doing groundbreaking work in rare disease research using an unexpected but powerful model: the fruit fly. We dive into Clement’s recent drug repurposing screen focused on FAM177A1 deficiency, a rare neurodevelopmental disorder. Hear how his team screened over 1,500 FDA-approved drugs using a fly model exhibiting a lethal phenotype—an innovative, cost-effective approach that could fast-track treatments for rare disease communities. Clement shares how his lab collaborates closely with patient foundations like the FAM177A1 Research Fund, how symptom management can be a gateway to deeper understanding, and what the future holds for applying discoveries across genetically linked rare diseases. Whether you're a scientist, advocate, or rare disease family member, this episode offers hope, insight, and a look at the power of creative research partnerships. 🎧 Listen now and learn how a tiny fly could make a world of difference. Special thanks to Jill Hawkins and the FAM177A1 Research Fund for making this episode possible.
