We invite you to participate in the third “Rare Disease Day 2025” conference that aims to raise awareness and update participants on the latest advances in clinical and molecular diagnosis as well as the latest available treatments. This conference will be held at the LAU Beirut campus, Irwin Hall Auditorium.
