RAREMARK
14.6.2016 11:01:38 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
PSR Orphan Experts, a specialty orphan drug consulting and clinical research company, and Raremark, a new online service for families affected by rare disease, today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the development of new treatments.
The collaboration will leverage the companies’ complementary experience and capabilities, addressing the unique challenges involved in clinical research in orphan indications.
Raremark will engage families in the clinical trial process, helping them understand what taking part in a study means, and keeping them informed while participating in one.
PSR will provide strategic and operational consulting, in addition to traditional contract research organization (CRO) services, to preclinical and clinical-stage companies developing drugs for rare diseases.
“Most of the 7,000 known rare diseases lack approved drugs, meaning that clinical trials may be the only opportunity for people affected to access treatments,” said Roger Legtenberg, CEO of PSR. “The rare disease community is generally very active, but there is a need for increased awareness that clinical trials are an option. We believe Raremark’s approach of engaging rare disease patients and families will bring benefits for all involved in drug development.”
Julie Walters, Raremark’s founder, said: “We’re impressed by PSR’s genuine commitment to the patient community, its sole focus on orphan disease, and the high caliber of its management team and long-standing relationships with specialist research centers.”

Cities Integrating AI Into Public Services With No Common Framework for Assessing Readiness, Oxford Insights Finds6.10.2026 04:00:00 CEST | Press release
Organisation behind the Government AI Readiness Index proposes a City AI Readiness Index, based on a new study of Abu Dhabi Cities are integrating artificial intelligence into public services and operations with no shared framework for measuring or comparing how prepared they are to do so safely, effectively or accountably. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261005281462/en/ Cover of Oxford Insights' latest report on City AI Readiness. (Graphic: AETOSWire) Existing global indices compare countries on legislation, investment and research output, but the AI efforts happening at city level – the level of government where the technology most directly shapes daily life – are not systematically captured. To start closing that gap, Oxford Insights researchers studied AI readiness across six cities. They found that all share the same core priorities, from governance and funding to talent and infrastructure, but take dist
NEG Develops “BDX-3,” a New Starveil™ Ultra-thin Cover Glass for a Wider Range of Space Environments6.10.2026 03:00:00 CEST | Press release
Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. (NEG) (TOKYO: 5214) has developed “BDX-3,” a new Starveil™ ultra-thin cover glass for space applications. BDX-3 is designed to reduce radiation-induced discoloration while providing greater ultraviolet (UV) shielding performance than BDX-2. While primarily intended for low Earth orbit (LEO), it can also be used in medium Earth orbit (MEO) and high Earth orbit, making it suitable for a wider range of space environments. Samples are now available for purchase, and NEG aims to achieve commercial adoption of BDX-3 in satellites and other spaceborne equipment. About BDX-3 Satellites and other equipment operating in space are exposed to intense UV radiation and other forms of radiation. Low Earth orbit is widely used for Earth observation and communications, medium Earth orbit for positioning systems, and high Earth orbit for communications and weather observation. Cover glass used in these environments must not only protect precision equipment from harsh cond
