Please be invited to attend the 2nd Dutch Ataxia Research Symposium, which will be fully virtual and will take place on November 2nd.
We have been able to draft a compelling program that covers both clinical and preclinical developments in ataxia, including keynote lectures by (inter)national speakers and recent discoveries presented by junior researchers.
There will be a special session on therapeutic developments, with speakers from industry and academia. Throughout the program, we also focus on the increasingly important element of embedding the voice of the patient in ataxia research.
Lastly, the program contains interesting break-out sessions with a variety of topics.
