📸 Throwback to when we had the pleasure of hearing from Dr. Zhenya Ivakine at our Annual Tea for Blu Event.
No notes, no computer - Dr. Ivakine simply spoke to us about the work that he is doing in his lab that has a direct impact on Gene Therapy research.

Although the exact cause of many rare diseases is unknown, most are inherited and caused by genetic changes or defects - also known a mutations.

These diseases are referred to as “genetic”. Other rare diseases may be caused by infections, allergies, or environmental factors.
