Additionally, on Feb. 24, FDA will host a public meeting where it will gather stakeholder’s opinions on rare disease product development and will work to pinpoint commonalities that support rare disease product development, according to the website. Portraits from the Beyond the Diagnosis Art Exhibit will be displayed during the meeting.
