The Wall Street Journal highlights remarks by Steven Walkley, D.V.M., Ph.D., on the NIH's Therapeutics for Rare and Neglected Diseases (TRND) program, which just announced funding for five projects struggling to develop drug therapies for rare diseases, including the fatal neurodegenerative disease Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC). Dr. Walkley, who helped identify a potential drug treatment for NPC by testing FDA-approved medications, notes that the TRND program is promising, but offers no guarantees.
