In this deeply personal and revealing talk, a physician-scientist shares her journey navigating rare disease research — where treatments don’t exist, systems resist change, and evidence-based medicine lags scientific possibilities. Through stories of breakthroughs, bureaucratic inertia, and heartbreak, she challenges the status quo in training doctors, designing research infrastructure, and defining “possible.” This talk is a call to disrupt complacency, think differently about innovation, and prepare the next generation of physicians to lead translational research.
