After weeks of hard work with The Maddi Foundation and Dr Jennifer Hirst at Cambridge Institute of Medical Research, we managed to pull together our first international meeting to discuss a plan of action for further research on SPG15 and also SPG11 which is very similar. We had many of the greatest minds attend who travelled from all over ie London, Sheffield, Cambridge, France, Germany and Italy.
It feels like such an achievement in such a short space of time. Thank you to all the Professors, Clinicians and Scientists who joined this very productive meeting. We look forward to working with you all 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇮🇹
