It was a great annual #Crick #Rare Disease Conference 2026. Learned so much new, made novel contacts, and of course, discussed #precision #therapies for #vascular, and more specifically, #lymphatic anomalies. Organised by @Veronica K. #VASCERN #vascapa #hevas #eurordis #CMTC

Congratulations, Emmanuel, on this online publication showing how #sirolimus treatment can be adapted to patients' needs. Most #patients with #slow-#flow #vascular #malformations benefit to some extent, and many experience significant #symptom reduction even with #intermittent dosing. This is a big step forward in the #multimodal management of vascular malformations. #VASCERN #VASCAPA #CMTC #HEVAS #WELRI #ISSVA #EVDays #deduveinstitute #Leducq #Radiorg #Eurordis #Lymph

So great 2 days at the #French Society of #Lymphology 2025 in Toulouse on lymphatic malformations, lymphoedema and lipedema. Illustrative presentations, pertinent questions and collegial discussions. The field is moving along faster than ever. Humbling to be part of the faculty. #vascapa #hevas #CMTC #Welbio #eshg #revamp #VASCERN #eurordis #Radiorg #lymph #LM #ISSVA

Learning of the complex regulatory affairs in the rare disease field at the World Orphan Drug Congress in Amsterdam. Great to see #EMA discussing with clinicians, patients and the industry. But a lot to be done to accelerate development of drugs for orphan diseases. #vascapa #welbio #hevas #cmtc #eshg #vascern #esl
