Dear Fellow Statisticians,
We are pleased to invite you to the next seminar in the ISBS Webinar Series:
From Data to Cure: Strategize Rare Disease & Precision Care Future
Speaker: Luyan Dai, PhD
Date: Friday, August 21, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM Eastern Time
Rare disease drug development faces unique challenges, including small and geographically dispersed patient populations, fragmented clinical and genomic data, limited natural history information, and difficulties in patient recruitment and traditional clinical trial design.
In this webinar, Dr. Dai will share perspectives on the evolving real-world data ecosystem for rare disease and precision medicine, with a particular focus on developments and opportunities in China. The presentation will discuss real-world data and evidence, target trial emulation, external controls, digital twins and virtual clinical trials, Bayesian external information borrowing, and the growing role of AI in clinical development and regulatory evidence generation.
