Welcome to the FSU Institute for Pediatric Rare Diseases at the Florida State University College of Medicine, a ground-breaking program of the FSU Health initiative. Our mission is to transform the lives of children affected by rare diseases through research, education, diagnosis, and clinical care.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy: Join IPRD-funded scientist Michelle Parvatiyar, Ph.D., from the FSU Department of Health, Nutrition and Food Sciences, as she unveils exciting new findings from her research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This rare pediatric disease leads to severe muscle weakness, muscle degeneration, respiratory issues, and, ultimately, heart failure. Discover how support from the Institute for Pediatric Rare Diseases has paved the way for a novel project aimed at examining the role of inflammatory genes associated with the disease. Parvatiyar and her Ph.D. students, Bolade Olateju and Nazanin Mohammadipour are making significant strides in this critical area of research.
