RDCRN 3rd Conference on Clinical Research for Rare Diseases, October 2, 2012
Location: Hilton Washington DC/Rockville Hotel & Executive Meeting Center, Rockville, MD Description: Clinical research in rare diseases presents a number of challenges and unique issues that are not usually considered in the training of clinical investigators through existing training programs. Goals of the conference include: direct instruction of trainees and new investigators in rare disease research methodology; development of a reusable curriculum/syllabus on rare disease research methodology; and stimulation of ideas regarding the unique issues facing investigators engaged in the study of rare diseases.

Drug Discovery in ALS: Opportunities and Challenges, March 4, 2012 - March 7, 2012
Description: The goals of the workshop are: [1] To bring clinical and scientific leaders from academia and industry together to focus on drug discovery for ALS. [2] To enable discussion and new project ideas to evolve from the interaction of researchers with different expertise in ALS and related fields. [3] To bring young researchers at an early stage of their careers to a stimulating and educational forum enabling them to interact and learn from their peers. [4] To discuss three key areas that impact ALS Drug Discovery and related fields: A) Academic and Industry Partnerships, B) New Opportunities for Biomarker studies in ALS, and C) Clinical Trials Networks to enhance patient enrollment and standardization of trials between sites.

Translational Neuromuscular Research, Diverse Diseases, Convergent Themes, September 19, 2011 - September 21, 2011
Location: Beaver Hollow Conference Center, Java Center, NY Description: The infrastructure for this conference was developed by the MSG, whose investigators have worked for the past 10 years to secure extramural funding and to develop outcome measures for clinical research/experimental muscle and other neuromuscular diseases. The goal of this conference is to help identify commonalities across therapy development in neuromuscular disease to help ensure that lessons learned in any one disease are disseminated across the neuromuscular community.

NIH ALS Conference: Clinical Research to Find the Pathogenesis and Cause of ALS, September 7, 2011 - September 9, 2011
Location: Tarrytown House Estate and Conference Center, Tarrytown, NY Description: This conference is designed to stimulate the development of collaborative research projects between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) physicians and basic scientists. It is expected that conference participants will develop a consensus regarding current research gaps and recommended next steps to enhance patient-oriented research in ALS. The previous “Tarrytown 1” conference, which was held in 2003, resulted in the formation of a new ALS research group that facilitated the biobanking of ALS biospecimens. It is expected that the 2011 conference will have similar tangible results.

Third Genome Dynamics in the Neurosciences Conference, July 18, 2010 - July 22, 2010
Location: The Hilton Metropole, Brighton Description: The goal of this meeting was to integrate basic processes of DNA damage signaling and repair and clinical aspects of neurological and neurodegenerative disease. The program was designed to bring together leading scientists with primary interests in DNA damage signaling with those working in specific related neurodegenerative disease areas as a means for integrating these fields. It was anticipated that this would generate insights into how normal processes of genome maintenance in the brain contribute to the prevention of a wide range of diseases.

VI International Conference on Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs (ICORD 2010): Global Approach to Accessibility in Rare Diseases, Orphan Drugs and Neglected Diseases , March 18, 2010 - March 20, 2010
Location: Palais Rouge Convention Center, Palermo, Buenos Aires Description: For the first time, the VI International Conference on Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs (ICORD 2010) was convened in the southern hemisphere in agreement with its aim of globalization of rare diseases research and orphan products development activities.
