This week, Citrin Foundation sponsored the first-ever spotlight program for citrin deficiency at the International Conference on Ureagenesis Defects and Allied Conditions held in Valencia. Our co-founder, Barbara Yu, introduced the Foundation and our unique approach to rare disease. John Walker Nobel Laureate and the chairman of our Scientific Supervisory Board gave the keynote speech. This was followed by a series of lectures in which we discussed various aspects of the condition and highlighted our collaborative approach to solving citrin deficiency.
This conference played an important role in raising awareness about citrin deficiency, especially among the European and American medical and scientific communities. Reception was hugely positive, and our presentation gathered interest in the work we are doing. We envision that as a result of this, we will be able to fund more exciting research to help us achieve our goals.
