Cristina Dias is a clinical geneticist and clinician scientist in Francois Guillemot’s group at the Crick, studying the molecular mechanisms of a group of neurodevelopment disorders. John Roberts is a parent of a child who is part of a clinical study led by Cristina at Great Ormond Street Hospital. This Rare Disease Day, we sat down with Cristina and John to find out more about research into rare diseases, and how even early-stage research can help create a community for families with children with rare diseases.
