White Paper: Enabling the Future of Cell and Gene Therapies through Non-Proprietary Patient-Owned Data Collection
“A significant finding of the white paper is that patient organizations are best situated to gather the data needed by stakeholders and ensure that it is appropriately shared with others,” Morrie Ruffin, co-founder and board member, ARM Foundation for Cell and Gene Medicine.

RARE-X, a collaborative platform for patient-controlled data collection and sharing, has published a new white paper exploring the primary issues and requirements for data gathering faced by cell and gene therapy developers. Enabling the Future of Cell and Gene Therapies through Non-Proprietary Patient-Owned Data Collection considers solutions and the role a standardized non-proprietary data collection platform, such as RARE-X, can play in addressing research challenges. RARE-X published the white paper in partnership with The ARM Foundation for Cell and Gene Medicine.
“A significant finding of the white paper is that patient organizations are best situated to gather the data needed by stakeholders and ensure that it is appropriately shared with others,” Morrie Ruffin, co-founder and board member, ARM Foundation for Cell and Gene Medicine.
The paper draws from the insights of top cell and gene therapy researchers and data scientists from biotech, government, and universities. An accompanying RARE-Xtra audio interview is also available, including discussions with a panel of researchers, biotech executives, and policy influencers.
