Massimo showed us all what the very best of humanity can achieve working together to achieve a common goal. Join us 8:00pm next Monday 21/5 on @AustralianStory to help #finishthemission ab.co/2IrvcTP

An incredible story from @missionmassimo at #AusGenomicsSummit how one family with a #raredisease have driven translational research which is benefiting so many more . Working together globally will bring solutions for #rarediseases @AusGenomics @RareVoices

Massimo’s Mission has LIFT OFF! Massimo's Mission, a clinical & research program in childhood leukodystrophies, is recruiting Aus patients facing challenges in obtaining a confirmed genetic diagnosis for a suspected leukodystrophy. More: bit.ly/2THsEsF @missionmassimo

Thank you @SenatorCollins, @SenDougJones, @SenMcSallyAZ, and @SenatorMenendez for your dedication to helping children with undiagnosed genetic diseases get diagnoses faster. collins.senate.gov/newsroom/…
Massimo’s Mission has LIFT OFF! @MCRI_for_kids @RCHMelbourne @AIBNatUQ @UNSW @illumina @leukoaust Together, we will make today’s science fiction, tomorrow’s science fact. #finishthemission #missionmassimo bit.ly/2t6oTSZ

Congratulations @SarahE_Richards on winning the @FinnPartners award for rare disease reporting. Your story is truly inspiring and reminds us of the fierce urgency of the work in rare diseases wired.com/story/one-scientis…
I won an award! Many thanks to @powerpressparty for honoring the work of health and science journalists @HLTHEVENT — and especially @Gil_Bashe and @FinnPartners for recognizing the importance of rare disease reporting and sponsoring the category! #HLTH2019

The Whole Genome Sequencing Project will link genomic info w/ comprehensive clinical & lifestyle information for 500k @uk_biobank volunteers. The resulting database will benefit us all, revealing new ways of preventing, diagnosing & treating a range of life-changing diseases.

Great story in @WIRED about the mission of our friends @ryanjtaft and @illumina “to bring a genome to every kid who needs one”. We’re sure Massimo would have been proud of the legacy he leaves behind. #missionmassimo #massimoeffect #finishthemission. bit.ly/34bvidE

@ryanjtaft you have changed so many lives. Thank you for your work. WGS identified a new variant of #VPS13D gene in our son it was life changing. We went from unknown leuko to an answer too! 🧬 now we can work on a treatment @kids_research

Today in @WIRED: read the amazing story of a scientist, our own @ryanjtaft, who volunteered to help solve a family's genetic mystery and began his quest to bring DNA sequencing to kids who need answers: bddy.me/34hd6zt @missionmassimo

Not all heroes wear capes. Great story in @WIRED about the inspiring quest of @ryanjtaft & @illumina “to bring a genome to every kid who needs one” and use genomic #sequencing to give hope & answers to families facing rare genetic disease. #GenomicMedicine bit.ly/2NIPAFw

Study from @RadyGenomics shows progress in scaling up rapid (under 24 hours) AI-powered diagnosis with genome sequencing of seriously ill infants. Clinicians can used saved time to better plan care. In @ScienceTM

Today, our hearts are with the Damiani family to remember a little boy who continues to have a large impact. We applaud the Australian government’s support for genetic diagnoses & clinical treatments for rare childhood disorders. #FinishTheMission youtu.be/HNTuBhGNrc4
We are thrilled to share the announcement of $3 million of Federal Government funding for Massimo’s Mission. A touching tribute to honour Massimo’s legacy and support pioneering research to finish the mission he started. bit.ly/2Gkrejh #finishthemission #missionmassimo
100,000 Genomes Project has hit its target. One in four participants with rare diseases received a diagnosis for the first time ending the "diagnostic odyssey" for many families. Next step is 'close the loop' to clinical treatments. #finishthemission bit.ly/2QDMeWf
Excellent example of how an early diagnosis allowed clinicians and researchers to offer a precision treatment for a better patient outcome. Also highlights the growing need for n=1 clinical trials for newly discovered rare diseases. bit.ly/2RbQ4CE #finishthemission
Great work from Prof Ernst Wolvetang @AIBNatUQ showing how the same technologies used to model rare diseases can provide valuable insights to common diseases like Alzheimer's Disease. teapaw.org/sciencealert/status/10…
