AGM 2013

A good turn out and some great speakers meant the National Council AGM (April 19) was a success. 

Guest speaker, Larry Stern, Professor of Neurology at Arizona University, gave an update on research into treatments for Neuromuscular Conditions with an overview of the developments in the areas Gene Therapy and Stem cell- mediated therapies.  He is hopeful that several therapies for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy will be approved by the FDA within the next 6 months and that there are other treatments for other neurological conditions in the pipeline.

Keep an eye out for the next edition of In Touch for a full write up on Larry's talk.
