About this listen

 Join us for a compelling episode of Rare Awareness Radio as we welcome Sunita Malipadi — attorney, advocate, and mother — who shares her powerful journey through the rare disease world. 🌿 Sunita's daughter was born with a mutation on the CACNA1A gene, leading to developmental challenges and a two-and-a-half-year diagnostic odyssey. Instead of giving up, Sunita turned her family’s experience into action. She co-founded the CACNA1A Foundation and the Buffalo Initiative, leading the charge in patient-driven rare disease research. For more information, please visit https://www.cacna1a.org/ In this episode, Sunita talks about: 🔹 The emotional rollercoaster of their diagnostic journey. 🔹 Why patient-led advocacy is essential for driving innovation. 🔹 The mission of the Buffalo Initiative to tackle the 'valley of death' in genetic medicine. 🔹 Her hopes for a more equitable and accessible research ecosystem. 💙 Follow us for more inspiring stories from the world of rare disease advocacy. #RareAwarenessRadio #RareDisease #GeneticMedicine #CACNA1A #PatientAdvocacy #BuffaloInitiative #HealthcareInnovation
