Therapeutic Targets for the Congenital Muscular Dystrophies
June 25, 2009 - June 27, 2009
Emory University, Atlanta, GA, United States
DescriptionThe primary goal of the conference is to address, evaluate and achieve consensus on therapeutic targets in the CMDs by bringing together experts ranging from basic science to clinical trial design in rare disorders, as well as representatives from industry, advocacy and funding agencies (NIH and MDA). A successful outcome will lead to the construction of a roadmap and preliminary prioritization of efforts based on the identification of short-term, mid-term and long-range scientific targets and their subsequent development into treatment strategies with strong translational potential towards clinical trials.
