14th UK Neuromuscular Translational Research Conference 2021 (online event)
25 and 26 March 2021
2021 saw our conference move online for the first time.
Attracting in excess of 300 basic scientists and clinical scientists involved in neuromuscular disease research, the event is designed as a scientific meeting to promote and share cutting edge clinical and scientific advances in the neuromuscular field, and to encourage new research and collaborations. The event included invited guest lectures with Q&A, research posters, and flash presentations from early career scientists.
Programme included:
- "Window for optimal therapeutic intervention in SMA”. Dr Charlotte Sumner, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA
