Explanation
Why fly around the globe to meet NMD-NL researchers? For the first time in history of NMD-NL we will organize a research symposium prior to the annual symposium Neuromuscular Diseases (Friday January 13th for NMD clinicians). As this symposium is primarily clinical in nature, we plan to link a (pre-clinical) research symposium to it.
The NMD-NL research symposium lasts from 13.00 - 17.00 and the aim is to connect NL-based NMD researchers. Speakers from the Dutch UMC's will showcase their research. In addition, young researchers are offered a platform by means of flash poster presentations. We encourage young researchers to submit abstracts for flash poster presentations(2-3 minutes per presentation). Please send the abstracts to [email protected].
The day will be concluded with drinks and bites.
Coen Ottenheijm, professor neuromuscular diseases Amsterdam UMC
