Our vision
We collaborate across disciplines for patient-centred impact and innovation. We improve therapy options, outcomes, and quality of life for people with a rare disease.
Our mission
Newcastle has a stellar track record in rare disease research. We have benefited from decades of collaboration between the University and Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
We have united almost 100 experts from across these organisations to form this Centre. We have built on an ethos of robust patient partnerships. We will continue to improve the quality and impact of our work.
To learn more about our Centre and the work we are doing, we invite you to explore the webpages below or take a look at our new Centre for Rare Disease brochure (PDF: 3.8 MB).
Our goals
The main goals of the Centre are to:
- consolidate our expertise under a single entity
- maximise our opportunities for cross-disease and cross-disciplinary research
- facilitate external collaborations by highlighting our diverse expertise
- provide a single access point for our research and clinical care communities
