The Manton Center is a virtual center for clinicians and scientists at Boston Children's Hospital who share a common vision of helping families by improving our understanding and awareness for rare diseases. The goals of this collaboration are to:
Unlock the mysteries of orphan diseases in order to develop better diagnostic tests and design new treatments and cures
Discover fundamental biological principles that have broad applications and can lead to advances in our understanding of common diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other major health problems
Train a new generation of investigators who will infuse creative energy into the battle against orphan diseases
Disseminate The Manton Center's findings among lay and medical/ scientific communities locally, nationally, and globally to enhance interest and support for orphan disease research and care
