Myrofora Goutaki has been awarded a Swiss National Science Foundation project grant to tackle two important and clinically relevant aspects of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a rare genetic disease that affects multiple organ systems.

Approximately 580,000 individuals in Switzerland live with a rare disease. The Swiss Rare Diseases Registry (SRDR) was established to address the issue of limited data on rare diseases and improve knowledge about them, contributing to better conditions for people with rare diseases and their families in Switzerland.

Leonie Schreck received the prize for the Best Research Highlight Presentation at the primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) Annual Research Meeting 2024 in Vienna.
