RareBoost Boosting the Rare Disease research and innovation capacity of the Izmir Biomedicine and Genome Center

Coordinator: IZMIR BIYOTIP VE GENOM MERKEZI (TR)

Although diseases afflicting less than 1 person in 2000 are defined as rare diseases, the approx. 6000 different rare diseases together cause, nonetheless, a major burden on human wellbeing and the health systems. Over 90% of all rare diseases are currently without approved treatment and approx. 80% of them are genetic in origin. However, the research on rare diseases and the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches is often hampered by limited resources, including patient material and biological models. The frequency of rare diseases increases in populations with a high frequ…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €2.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 7 years from 2020-10-01 to 2027-09-30.
