CTX INFORM UCD

Join Us for the One-Day International CTX Workshop Series
On behalf of the CTX Alliance and the organizing committee, it is our pleasure to invite you to the workshops exclusively dedicated to cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX). Following the success of the first-ever CTX International Scientific Meeting held in Jerusalem in August 2023, the CTX Alliance is hosting this one-day workshop to build on critical collaborations and advance CTX research and patient care. It is our intention to make attending this satellite CTX meeting a convenient and educational opportunity for those already attending the ICIEM. Click here for the meeting agenda and free registration to attend the workshops. The overarching goal of the CTX International Workshop Series is to catalyze global research and clinical collaborations for CTX, advancing our knowledge to improve outcomes for CTX patients and their families. We are honored and excited to provide this opportunity to foster international collaboration for this rare disease.

Meet the Professor Breakfast: Trainees and junior investigators will have an opportunity to meet in small groups with luminaries in the field to connect and discuss UCD related topics of interest.
Symposium Sessions: A distinguished group of internationally renowned clinicians and scientists involved in the field of UCDs will discuss the latest developments in the areas of:
- Disease Models and Mechanisms
- From Phenotypic Diversity to Personalized Medicine
- Innovative vs Established Therapies: Advantages and Limitations
- Challenges of Newborn Screening for UCDs
Poster Session: This session will provide a venue to highlight recent, high-quality scientific findings and serve as a nexus for fostering international collaborations, especially for early career investigators.
