A team of researchers from Baylor College of Medicine, including PNRI’s own Dr. Cláudia Carvalho, conducted a decade-long exploration into Turkish genetics, uncovering a vital piece of the puzzle behind why some rare diseases emerge.
PNRI scientists are at the forefront of groundbreaking rare disease research. This spring, they are taking their breakthroughs global, sharing their labs’ latest findings with experts and advocates worldwide.
Learn more about PNRI’s special Science Matters seminar honoring Rare Disease Day, featuring Jill Hawkins and Jennifer Posey, MD, PhD, two of our partners in the rare disease research community.
Groundbreaking research projects at PNRI are leveraging the latest discoveries in genetics and innovative DNA sequencing technology to uncover the roots of rare diseases and revolutionize how they are diagnosed.

PNRI’s Summer Undergraduate Research Internship (SURI) is an exciting opportunity tailored for undergraduates passionate about biomedical sciences. This nine-week intensive, paid program offers a dive into research projects, scientific symposiums, and career development activities, giving aspiring researchers a platform to flourish.
In a pair of recent studies, PNRI’s Carvalho Lab is making significant strides in unraveling the intricate relationship between our genes and their structure, shedding new light on the genetic underpinnings of specific diseases.
The pace of genetic discovery has expanded the ability to diagnose more of the rare, inherited diseases that threaten the lives of newborns. And yet, the pace of adding new diseases to the newborn screening program is lagging.
The Summer Undergraduate Research Internship (SURI) is integral in PNRI, where scientists value mentoring the next generation. This summer we proudly hosted five exceptional interns with diverse interests and career goals as they got hands-on training in our laboratories.
Mentorship is an integral part of science. Each summer, scientists at PNRI mentor college students as part of our eight-week Summer Undergraduate Science Internship Program.
