For a brighter future...
Following the cancellation of the International Cystinosis Conference in July due to coronavirus, Cystinosis Ireland and Cystinosis Network Europe have announced their decision to hold a ‘Virtual International Cystinosis Conference’ online. This will take place on Saturday, 25th April, 1pm – 8pm CET (12pm – 7pm BST).
We thoroughly recommend you virtually attend. You’ll be able to watch cystinosis world experts (with translation if required) presenting the latest information on managing cystinosis; educational issues; bones and muscles; eyes and possible new treatment; kidneys – pre-and post-transplant and keeping well; the latest research in gene therapy and new treatments; pregnancy and male fertility; the impact of COVID-19; and maintaining your mental health. This includes Professor Herbie Newell CBE, talking about the prodrug project that we have contributed over £1m to thanks to incredible fundraising efforts by our supporters over the last 15 years.
The list of confirmed speakers also includes Prof Elena Levtchenko (Chair), Dr Atif Awan, Dr Rachel Bishop, Prof Don Cairns, Dr Anuj Chauhan, Dr Stephanie Cherqui, Prof Paul Goodyer, Prof Paul Grimm, Dr Patrick Harrison, Prof Craig Langman, Dr Joyce Senior, and more.
