The Manton Center Goals
The Manton Center is a virtual center for clinicians and scientists at Boston Children's Hospital who share a common vision of helping families by improving our understanding and awareness for rare diseases. The goals of this collaboration are to:
- Unlock the mysteries of orphan diseases in order to develop better diagnostic tests and design new treatments and cures
- Discover fundamental biological principles that have broad applications and can lead to advances in our understanding of common diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other major health problems
- Train a new generation of investigators who will infuse creative energy into the battle against orphan diseases
- Disseminate The Manton Center's findings among lay and medical/ scientific communities locally, nationally, and globally to enhance interest and support for orphan disease research and care
