fifth annual UK Neuromuscular Translational
Research Conference was held successfully on 22nd-23rd March 2012. The
conference continued to be jointly hosted with the Muscular Dystrophy
Campaign and major themes this year included molecular mechanisms in
neuromuscular disease,
translational pathways, next generation sequencing and stem cells.
Over two days, the conference was able to showcase a wide range of high quality scientific neuromuscular research from many UK groups, international colleagues and industry partners. Dr Robert C. Griggs of the University of Rochester Medical School delivered the second John Walton lecture.
