Our aim is to develop new concepts for diagnosing rare diseases as well as individualised treatments using genetic diseases of the immune system as examples – with a firm focus on the education and training of future physicians and researchers in the context of the thematic network „Research for Rare Diseases and Personalised Medicine“. Specific goals are:

• To intensify mutual research activities in the field of rare immunological diseases - „From discovery to cure“
• To support a moleculargenomic view of medicine by academic training of „physician-scientists“
  Bilateral use- a reinforcement of the centre of knowledge that is Germany and promotion of excellent medical care through educating physicians in third world countries
• To support young researchers in order to ensure long-term international alliances
  Promotion of mobility
• To increase public awareness of patients with rare diseases
• To implement specific training in the field of rare diseases and personalised treatments
