Bonus live episode! We hosted a live episode of the podcast at Cambridge Rare Disease Network’s RAREFest22 at the end of last year with an expert panel - Amanda Pichini (Genomics England), Kate Downes (East Genomics) and Peter Fish (Mendelian). Guided by soundbites from people who have been affected by rare disease, our expert panel discuss the challenges faced at every stage of the diagnostic odyssey, and how genomics advances could help.
