Reading Time: < 1 minute

This blog is part of our Symposium Blogathon series – where we are counting down to the 33rd International Symposium. Numbers in bold blue type correspond to the code in the abstract book. Click on the number to be redirected to the full abstract.

As a new feature of the Symposium Blogathon, Research Coordinator Charlotte sat down with other members of the Research Development team who are involved in organising the Symposium to find out more about what’s involved. They chatted about the roles they play in bringing this event to the global stage and what they are most looking forward to at the Symposium this year.

Research Development team’s talks to look out for:

Session 10- ‘Update on the BrainGate Brain-Computer Interface Clinical Trials’- Dr Leigh Hochberg (C27)

Session 3- Investigating the role of hypermetabolism in ALS’- Prof Shyuan Ngo (C06)

Session 8- ‘Modelling neuroinflammation in ALS’- Dr Jasna Kriz (C21)

Session 6- ‘Decoding gene regulatory networks in ALS’- Professor Janine Kirby (C15)

Session 5- ‘Mild motor impairment and prodromal markers’- Dr Michael Benatar (C14)

We hope you’ve joined us from the beginning, but if you’ve missed any blogs, you can catch up on them here. If you have been following along, we hope you’ve enjoyed the small taster of what’s to come at the symposium this year and look forward to you joining us at the event! If you haven’t already registered, it’s not too late!

Registration is open until 11:59pm tonight (GMT)
