Indo US Organization for rare diseases (IndoUSrare) is an independent non-profit organization focused on helping patients with rare diseases of Indian origin in the USA, India, & globally with a vision to build collaborative highway-bridges between the west & the east to accelerate research & development of diagnostics & therapies through education, advocacy, research, & grants.
IndoUSrare serves as a gateway to the highway-bridges between the USA, & the Indian subcontinent to accelerate research & development of Diagnostics, Drugs, Devices, Biologics, & Therapeutics for rare diseases.
The USA is the largest funder of biomedical research with a forward-looking regulatory framework for innovative new medicines including cell & gene therapies. India is the largest democracy with a genetically diverse population of over 1.3 Billion people. Yet, India accounts for less than 1% of the global clinical research footprint. IndoUSrare will address this gap through enabling education, awareness, advocacy, fostering research collaborations & patient engagement in global clinical trials.
