Monday, October 20th
Research Symposium
Holiday Inn at Beacon Hill - Boston, MA
The Research Symposium brings together
scientists and clinicians from across the spectrum of ALS research.
It is central to the mission of ALS TDI to
foster collaboration and openness in ALS research, and we invite
you to attend and be a part of this important event. Some presenters collaborate with ALS TDI,
while others are internal researchers.
After each speaker a period of Q&A will
follow.
We provide an open platform for attendees to ask questions during this time.
Portions of the Research Symposium may be
taped or photographed.
