DupMECP2 participated in the MECP2 Duplication Family Conference on the 25th and 26th of October 2024, at the Duncan Neurological Research Institute in Houston, Texas.
David Covini attended, engaging with experts and families to discuss advancements in patient care and research for a cure. The conference was both insightful and deeply moving.
David had the opportunity to meet dedicated researchers like Davut Pehlivan and Huda Zoghbi, whose passion and commitment were truly inspiring. It was also a chance to connect with new families and strengthen our community.
“I had the chance, for the second time to meet passionate and great researchers with a big heart which don’t always go together“,says David, reflecting on the 2 intensive days.“
As a proud gold sponsor of the conference, we value this event’s focus on both scientific progress and family support. Our discussions, particularly with the Ionis team and Dr. Zhenya Ivakine (CRISPR Cas9 project in Toronto) were highly productive and will help drive key research projects forward. We look forward to the future collaborations that emerged from these conversations.
Recorded presentations and slides will be available soon from the NRI.
