WE KNOW HUNDREDS OF TYPES OF CANCER
1 IN 2000 SLOVENIANS HAS A RARE DISEASE, HALF OF THEM CHILDREN.

 

For most rare diseases and cancers, there are no effective cures yet.

Remarkable advances in the life sciences promise to cure the cause of many diseases in the years to come. Advanced treatment approaches such as gene and cell therapies are extremely effective because they are targeted, tailored to individual patients or groups of patients, and can even lead to a permanent cure. The approach to each patient is central to the development of new therapies. At this time, access to the latest treatments is particularly important.

At the CTGCT Centre of Excellence, we will develop gene and cell therapy technologies and ensure that advanced medicines are ready to enter clinical trials for diseases for which we do not yet have effective treatments. This is to improve survival and quality of life for patients.

Researchers

provides an understanding of how a project is progressing, what needs to be done for a single drug to go through, how a single research discovery can be translated into a pathway to a cure

Clinicians

moving from research opportunities, through the design and implementation of clinical trials, to the treatment of patients, with appropriate recording of data in registries (registry of rare diseases)

Patients

gives insights into how advanced gene and cell therapies can be used to treat previously untreatable diseases, provides them with a point of entry into exploring solutions to their own health problems, and connects them with key stakeholders, whether in the CTGCT or more broadly
