The Eric P. Newman Education Center in St. Louis will host a conference in February about rare diseases.
The Rare Disease Day Symposium is an event where scientists and clinicians can meet with other peers in the medical field while learning about rare conditions. The conference gives professionals a space to compare notes about diseases and discuss the future of handling these conditions. There will be many activities offered at the symposium, including a group breakfast, poster sessions, and a meet-and-greet with people who have rare diseases.
Attendees can listen to many educated speakers during the convention, such as Hao Chen, Grant Austin, Alexa Dickson, and Akash Kumar. There will be live presentations on topics like navigating therapeutic development and the effects of high-fat diets. Diseases to be discussed during the conference will include Hao-Fountain syndrome, Nasu-Hakola disease, and Batten disease. Lunches will also be provided at the event.
The Rare Disease Day Symposium will be held on Thursday, February 26. All guests must register for the event by February 9. The conference will be offered as an in-person and online experience. The in-person program will begin at 7:45 am with a rare patient and family breakfast. Organizations that host informative symposiums like this may use flyer printing to help promote their conferences to more of their audience members.
