For rare,
by rare

More than 50% of our Bionews team are living with or caring for someone with a rare condition.

This unique perspective adds a layer of authenticity, granting us unparalleled credibility and impact by delivering trusted information and fostering stronger advocacy.

In turn, this provides us with invaluable insights that shape our work and partnerships every day, resulting in industry leading performance.

The patient voice advantage

We believe that the patient’s voice should  be at the center of the rare conversation.

In Their Own Words:

  • We’ll let you know what the communities really want and how they want it.
  • We separate the company from its competitors, and we’re proud of it.
  • We’ll advise on community sensitivity in language and branding.
  • We’ll ignite your purpose.

We know rare. Because we are rare.

Being disabled does not make me any less human.

    Some of the communities we serve


    Being part of the Bionews community has given me the opportunity to spread pulmonary hypertension (PH) awareness beyond my friends and family. Since receiving a heart and double lung transplant six years ago, my son no longer has PH, but we will never get over the experience. It does my heart good to know that sharing his story through my columns and PH forums might help others feel less alone.

    Being able to work gives a purpose. It’s more than a job, it’s invigorating to your soul. So often, those of us with disabilities are not hired because we are faced with the assumption that we can’t do it, but that’s wrong. Being able to work is another way to be a part of a community that you feel you can benefit and benefit from in return.

    Bionews gave me my purpose back. I never thought that I would work again. The team here makes me a better person each day, I learn so much from each of them. Inclusion in the workplace should look like Bionews! Here we all matter despite our disabilities. The empathy and caring nature here is all-inclusive.

    The people at Bionews inspire me on a daily basis. We connect with each other through our shared triumphs and trials, humor, and our commitment to amplifying the voices of people from rare disease communities across the world. An inclusive workplace should be an atmosphere of positivity and acceptance, where no employee is discriminated on the basis of disability, gender, sexual orientation, race, etc. Inclusive employers are accommodating, insightful, open-minded, and creative.
