The Symposium will focus on practical aspects of muscle disease with particular emphasis on muscle membrane protein immunohistochemistry.
Key speakers will include Drs Louise VB. Anderson & Kate Bushby of Newcastle University, UK together with Drs Francesco Muntoni and Caroline Sewry of the Hammersmith Hospital Neuromuscular Centre, London. Dr Valerie Askanas and Dr WK Engel Neuromuscular Center, Department of Neurology, University of Southern California School of Medicine will also speak to the Symposium. Dr. Engel will deliver the Third Annual Schering Neuroscience Lecture on the evening of Friday September 8th prior to dinner.
We are also planning to have discussion of problem cases, which will give delegates an opportunity to present cases to the experts. The format will depend on the number of cases but will probably involve a brief 7-minute platform presentation followed by discussion for 8 minutes.
