SUMMARY:Undiagnosed Hackathon 2025
DESCRIPTION:350 million people live with an undiagnosed disease worldwide. Genome sequencing can provide answers for 40% of the People Living With Undiagnosed Disease (PLWUD) but around 60% still don’t receive a diagnosis. The purpose of the Undiagnosed Hackathon is trying to find new ways and collaborations to solve the undiagnosed diseases\, that can’t be solved today. In this unique event multidisciplinary teams of clinicians\, bioinformaticians/molecular biologists\, scientists\, developers\, AI specialists and brilliant minds will work together to tackle the most difficult diseases.

SUMMARY:A Conversation About Patient Partner Outsider Syndrome
DESCRIPTION:Patient/caregiver partnership in health research has evolved substantially since the launch of Canada’s Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) over a decade ago. However\, findings from the Patient Advisors Network (PAN) “Reimagining the Research Landscape” report\, commissioned by CIHR in 2024 for the SPOR Refresh\, revealed that patient/caregiver partners often feel like outsiders in the research ecosystem. This webinar will take a deeper dive into the OSSU Research Day presentation “Why do patient/caregiver partners feel like outsiders?” \nMs. Maureen Smith will moderate a frank discussion between two of the report authors\, Mses. Alies Maybee and Annette McKinnon\, and PAN Board member Ms. Sandra Holdsworth\, and leading patient-oriented researchers Drs. Manoj Lalu\, Ambreen Sayani and Stuart Nicholls\, on the barriers uncovered by the report and showcasing best practices to mitigate these barriers.
