Erdera - Translational Research Services

ERDERA’s Acceleration Hub

Bridging the gap between scientific discovery and investment-ready innovation with high potential to significantly improve the lives of patients with rare diseases and their communities.

The ERDERA Acceleration Hub is a core element of the Alliance’s strategy to transform rare disease research. We bring together public and private resources to guide promising innovations through translational and early development phases.

By providing researchers with technical expertise, regulatory insights, and early commercial perspectives that are specifically tailored to their needs, the Acceleration Hub helps ensure that promising innovations can advance smoothly and reach where they are most needed.

If you are a researcher focused on rare disease translational projects, have identified a promising therapeutic solution or target, and seek to collaborate in advancing your work toward a tangible impact for patients, we invite you to fill out the short form below.

DETECT
We actively source innovative projects from ERDERA and external networks. Our focus is on identifying ideas with a strong translational potential and mapping them to the right investors at an early stage.
DECIDE
Once potential projects are detected, we evaluate their scientific rationale, unmet medical need, and overall feasibility. This rigorous selection ensures that only investor-oriented and high-impact programs move forward.
DESIGN
Once selected, we provide a range of support services and work with towards securing resources for key preclinical studies. These resources help teams refine their strategies and become fully investor-ready.
DEVELOP
Finally, we advance projects by connecting them with potential funders and investors identified through targeted searches and roadshows, setting the stage for successful clinical development.

By harnessing expertise from an extensive network of clinical, academic and industrial expertise, the Acceleration Hub mitigates potential risks and complexities that are frequent in therapy development, increasing the chances of early-stage projects to get to investment-ready stages.
