DescriptionThis workshop will be unique in that its primary purpose is to facilitate coordination of translational and clinical aspects of NPC on an international basis. Thus, the goals of this meeting are two-fold. First, to promote interactions among basic scientists involved in preclinical testing of potential therapeutic agents in mouse models of NPC, and clinical scientists studying NPC. Second, this meeting will promote interactions and collaborations between clinical scientists studying NPC.
