We are pleased to share with you an important milestone for the Harrington Discovery Institute at University Hospitals, part of The Harrington Project for Discovery & Development. The Harrington Discovery Institute and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company are today announcing a multi-year collaboration to accelerate breakthrough discoveries in rare diseases.
This collaboration will build on Harrington Discovery Institute’s established operating model and create a new program called the Takeda-Harrington Scholar Program for Rare Diseases. Through this partnership, the Takeda-Harrington Program will provide funding and hands-on drug development guidance to US MD and PhD scientists whose discoveries show promise for translation into novel treatments for rare diseases.
