This podcast is about the advancement of rare disease research told by health professionals, researchers, parents and advocates. This podcast is for you to learn how newborn screening research saves the lives of babies every day through discoveries of new technologies and treatments. You will hear stories from experts who treat babies, the families who care for them, and the researchers who make it all happen. We are your co-hosts, Drs. Kee Chan and Amy Brower.
We are from the Newborn Screening Translational Research Network (also known NBSTRN). Our work is supported by one of the institutes at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda Maryland called the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (also known as NICHD). Dr. Chan and I are from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (also known as ACMG) and ACMG leads the NBSTRN. Screening babies saves lives every day, and research advances newborn screening by developing new technologies to screen, diagnose and treat. NBSTRN helps accelerate research by creating tools, resources and expertise for researchers, doctors, families, patients and advocates.
To learn how you can help advance newborn research, advocate for rare disease screening and treatment, and learn about important discoveries, become a member of the Newborn Screening Translational Research Network by visiting our website at www.nbstrn.org.

Innovative Blood and Marrow Transplant & Gene Therapy for Rare Diseases
Dr. Paul Orchard is the Medical Director of the Inherited Metabolic and Storage Disease Program and a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics in the Division of Blood and Marrow Transplant & Cellular Therapy (BMT & CT) at the University of Minnesota. He is interested in using hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and other cell therapies, including gene therapy, to improve outcomes. In addition to his clinical work with patients with inherited metabolic diseases, Dr. Orchard is engaged in research designed to identify strategies that enhance the delivery of enzymes to the brain and the peripheral nervous system for patients who lack specific enzymes. Other interests include the modification of stem cell transplant approaches and combination therapies to improve outcomes for patients with inherited diseases and the potential to develop multi-institutional cooperative studies for these disorders. Listen to a leading expert in saving the lives of children every day, including Dr. Amy Brower's son.
