We’re back with Season 2 of our podcast PNRI Science–this time recorded live at PNRI’s 2025 Rare Disease Day symposium. It was a day full of energy, insight, and shared purpose, as scientists, clinicians, advocates, and industry leaders came together to accelerate rare disease research and treatment. Hosted by Jack Faris, CEO of the Pacific Northwest Research Institute, and his daughter, actor and producer Anna Faris, this season captures personal stories and fresh perspectives from across the rare disease landscape. You’ll hear from rare disease families, early-career scientists, seasoned clinicians, and corporate partners, all reflecting on what drives their work—and what’s possible when people from different sectors come together. Because in rare disease, a diagnosis isn’t the end of the story. It’s the start of something powerful. To learn more about PNRI’s scientists and groundbreaking research, visit pnri.org.
