Shining a Light on von Willebrand Disease: An Often Overlooked Bleeding Disorder
Brinda Balakrishnan, Board Member of Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc., shared a post by Star Therapeutics on LinkedIn:
“There continue to be many sizable, rare disorders with few to no therapeutic options. Glad that Star is shining a light on VWD and developing novel medicines to address patient needs!”
Quoting Star Therapeutics‘ post:
“von Willebrand Disease is often overlooked compared to other bleeding disorders like hemophilia, leaving many patients without the resources and support they deserve.
Listen as Nick shares his experience growing up with a condition that was frequently misunderstood and the impact that has had on his journey with VWD.”
