A few more "striped" CRI GMDP researchers, who were right in the middle of #relentlessdiscovery during our first 🦓pic. Thanks for all you do to uncover the treatments of tomorrow. 🧪 #RareDiseaseDay #RareDiseaseDay2025

🦓 #RareDiseaseDay2025: members of CRI's Genetic & Metabolic Disease Program don stripes for disorders affecting fewer than 200K ppl in the U.S., such as inborn errors of #metabolism & #Cancer. Diagnosing “zebras” is hearing hoofbeats & thinking zebra not horse. 🧪 #relentlessdiscovery #RareDiseaseDay

🍂 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 We’re #grateful for time spent together this fall, digging deeper into research & discoveries. From our annual retreat, to an around-the-world potluck, nothing replaces true connection. At CRI, collaboration strengthens our pursuit of #relentlessdiscovery
CRI researchers enjoy an around-the-world Thanksgiving potluck. They're shown gathering food, as well as standing in a group before they begin eating. There are 5 pictures of researchers speaking at a podium, sharing their science at CRI's annual retreat. The bottom picture is a large group of all retreat attendees at a playground near the conference, smiling and laughing.
