RARE DISEASE GRANTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS

Advancing Knowledge and Public Health

Pfizer Rare Disease is built on innovation. We pride ourselves in stretching the limits of traditional partnership and collaborative research models by working in new and meaningful ways with innovators in government, academia, advocacy, and across the industry. We believe a networked R&D model that leverages the strengths across all sectors will drive the next generation of breakthrough therapies.

Our ongoing rare disease collaborative research in gene therapy is one example of our cutting-edge approach to developing new therapies. We are continuing to identify and engage new partners to advance our rAAV-based platform and capabilities, leading to several pre-clinical and clinical programs.

Through trusted rare disease partnerships and collaborations—and a shared urgency and relentless passion to make a difference in patients’ lives—Pfizer Rare Disease is supporting programs and initiatives that we believe can benefit the public, advance medical care, and improve patient outcomes.
