Pediatrics
While Cures Within Reach is disease-agnostic and geography-agnostic, some of our funding partners have strategic interests in specific population groups. Therefore, in addition to our disease-specific and geographic repurposing communities, we have a Pediatrics Repurposing Community that utilizes the speed and cost-effectiveness of testing already approved therapies in new indications to improve the quality and length of life of pediatric patients.
Our repurposing research and events within the Pediatrics Repurposing Community all focus on connecting our many stakeholder groups together in our shared goal: driving more treatments to more patients more quickly through repurposing.
Our efforts include finding and funding clinical repurposing projects to quickly impact pediatric patients in any disease area.
