ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Dec. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Genes®, a leading rare disease patient advocacy organization, is proud to announce the return of the fourth annual RARE in the Square, an event rallying rare disease innovators, investors, and patients, January 13-15, 2020. Conveniently located in San Francisco's Union Square and coinciding with J.P. Morgan's annual Healthcare Conference, one of the most significant industry events of the year, the return of RARE in the Square presents an unparalleled networking opportunity during the conference week.

This forward-looking panel, “Demystifying the Value of AI for Rare Disease Science and Treatment,” examines the next revolution of artificial intelligence and its relationship with rare disease to accelerate patient diagnosis, target discovery, drug discovery, and clinical care. For the duration of the conference, participants and the public are invited to visit Union Square, network, and meet the featured Biotech Showcase experts including moderator, John Reynders, vice president, Data Sciences, Genomics, and Bioinformatics of Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Carrie Burke, vice president, Business Development and Partnerships at Clinithink, Tim Guilliams, CEO and co-founder of Healx, and Charlotte Hobbs, vice president, Research and Clinical Management for Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine. "RARE in the Square represents the voice of rare patients at this critical conference and is a physical representation of the platform Global Genes provides patients, innovators, and stakeholders to share their knowledge and experience, further propelling rare disease research and ultimately improving efforts towards patient care and cures," said Kimberly Haugstad, CEO, Global Genes. "RARE in the Square plays a seminal role in raising awareness of the need to invest in rare disease treatments and cures. Additionally, based on outcomes of our capacity building and training programs like the RARE Entrepreneur Bootcamp partnership, Data DIY and others, we help our community evolve past de-risking early investment in rare diseases to becoming equal collaborators and direct investment drivers in their disease." Collectively, rare disease affects more than 400 million people worldwide.
