In honour of on February 28, we recognize the millions of people worldwide who live with rare conditions and the important role that research plays in improving diagnosis, treatment, and care.

Rare diseases are often difficult to detect and manage, and many lack established treatment options. Advancing understanding through research is essential for improving outcomes.

At UHN, researchers across our institutes are generating new insights that could shape the future of rare disease care.

Explore some of our latest rare disease research below:

▶️ Researchers at UHN’s Princess Margaret Cancer Centre are studying an innovative immunotherapy treatment that may improve outcomes for patients with soft tissue .

Maintaining appropriate behavioral and physiological responses in the face of challenge is essential for survival. The persistent increase in corticosteroids (CORT) during chronic stress blunts the endocrine response to any subsequent stressors. But the impact of prolonged CORT on behaviors that pro...

🎉✨ Please join us in celebrating Dr. Alfonso Fasano, Clinician Investigator with the Krembil Brain Institute at UHN, who has been awarded $20,000 in funding from HYDROCEPHALUS CANADA- formerly SB&H!

🧠This study aims to help people with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) recover better after surgery by exploring the benefits of timed rehabilitation by:

1️⃣ Testing whether starting a rehabilitation program 3–4 months after surgery leads to better recovery
2️⃣ Seeing how targeted exercise and mobility training affect walking, balance, and overall confidence
3️⃣ Figuring out if time‑sensitive rehabilitation can boost independence and long‑term function more than surgery alone

🎉✨ Please join us in celebrating Dr. Valeria Ramaglia, Scientist with the Krembil Brain Institute at UHN, who has been awarded more than $1.2 million in funding through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Fall 2025 Project Grant!

🧠 This project aims to uncover why memory declines as the immune system ages by:

1️⃣ Studying how aging immune cells damage the hippocampus, which is the brain’s memory centre
2️⃣ Comparing findings from the human brain with preclinical models
3️⃣ Identifying immune pathways that drive this damage, therefore opening the door to new treatment targets for age‑related memory loss
