Rally for Research, Families, and Hope
PNRI is proud to sponsor Hope on the Court, a pickleball tournament benefiting the ARG1D Foundation – an organization supporting families affected by Arginase 1 Deficiency (ARG1D) – a rare, life-threatening genetic disorder. Join the fun on Sunday, December 7, at Side Out Tsunami in Seattle! Players of all ages and skill levels are welcome. Play for fun, compete for medals, or just cheer from the sidelines.
Delve into PNRI Labs
Unlocking Insights From Transmissible Cancers in Nature
Explore the Metzger Lab’s work to uncover how clams and other bivalves have developed resistance to rare transmissible cancers – and how these findings may lead to new ways to block cancer in humans.
Solving the Unsolved Cases of Rare Diseases
Learn how the Carvalho Lab dives deep into the human genome to identify DNA structural variants linked to rare diseases like Robinow Syndrome and MECP2 duplication syndrome. Their innovative tools pinpoint these genetic structures, advancing diagnosis and treatment for rare diseases.
