Visit our booth in the Registration Hall & test your skills in our daily Pipetting Game 🧪
Beat our board member Prof. Anja Ehrhardt!
Our game ist open:
📅 Every day
⏰ 10:30 AM – 05:30 PM
Each day’s top pipetter will get a prize at the end of the day from our Microbes plushies🦠

Patients with #rare cancers have a suboptimal survival compared to patients with more common cancer types
#RareFact 9
Patients with #rare cancers have a suboptimal 5-year survival, partially because they need #rare individual treatments.
#Rarediseaseday
#GeneTherapy
#DGGZTeV
1 in 5 cancers is a rare form
#RareFact 8
Even generally common diseases like cancer can be highly specific in individual form and treatment.

Equity means accessibility and a fair chance for a good life
#RareFact 7
Place of birth, gender and skin color should not decide the availability of treatment options.
We are working towards research and treatment being equally accessible to everyone.
#GeneTherapy
#Rarediseaseday
#DGGZTeV
70 percent of genetic disorders start during childhood
#RareFact 6
Many #rarediseases start during childhood - the younger the patient the more time to gain
#GeneTherapy
#Rarediseaseday
#DGGZTeV
72 percent of rare disease have a genetic cause
#Rarefact 5
Most rare diseases have a genetic cause - brilliant #scientists around the world and in #Germany are developing #GeneTherapy approaches to treat or cure them.
#Rarediseaseday
#DGGZTeV
There are more than 6000 rare diseases described
#RareFact 4
There are many #rarediseases . There is a lot to do.
#rarediseaseday #GeneTherapy
#DGGZTeV
Taken together the number of patients affected by rare diseases is comparable to the population of the 3rd largest country on earth
#RareFact 3
#Rarediseaseday
An entire country full of patients affected by rare diseases surely would try to build a medical system and the necessary research to accommodate their needs - we should aim to do the same
#GeneTherapy
#DGGZTeV
5 percent of the global population are affected by rare diseases
#RareFact 2
Because it is #rarediseaseday, today we are sharing facts and information on rare diseases
On all other days we #research ways to treat patients with #rarediseases
#communicate our findings and build networks for #cooperation and the future of #GeneTherapy
#Aware for #rare
#DGGZTeV
Welcome to the bluesky account of the German Society for Gene and Cell Therapy #DGGZTeV
Just in time for the #rarediseaseday the DGGZT is finally part of the bluesky family.
We are here to #connect #communicate and spread #awareness
