Dear ETPN members, dear colleagues, we are glad to invite you to actively participate in the final online workshop of the Smart4Fabry project to be held on Wednesday, February 3, 2021.

Description of Smart4Fabry

Rare diseases, like Fabry disease, mean a major health problem for a significant number of people in total, but affecting small number of patients for each individual disease.Smart4Fabry is a project conceived and created to obtain a new nanoformulation of GLA, that will improve the efficacy and toleration compared to the actual treatment with non-formulated GLA. The final benefit will be seen as considerable reduction on the Fabry disease treatment cost and a substantial improvement in the life-quality of Fabry disease patients.

Join the Smart4Fabry Final Workshop to learn from expert speakers how, why and for what the solution proposed by Smart4Fabry was conceived, a sign of cooperation at European level to boost nanomedicine development and translation to clinical stages. More information about the workshop can be found hereafter.
