NMD4C steering committee member Dr. Jim Dowling appointed Chair of the executive committee of TREAT-NMD
The NMD4C would like to congratulate our Steering Committee member Dr. Jim Dowling on his appointment as Chair of the executive committee of TREAT-NMD!
Along with his duties as Chair, Dr. Dowling also serves as a member of the TREAT-NMD Advisory Committee for Therapeutics.
TREAT-NMD is a network for the neuromuscular field that provides an infrastructure to ensure that the most promising new therapies reach patients as quickly as possible. Since its launch in January 2007 the network’s focus has been on the development of tools that industry, clinicians and scientists need to bring novel therapeutic approaches through preclinical development and into the clinic, and on establishing best-practice care for neuromuscular patients worldwide.
TREAT-NMD would like to recognise the valuable work in the neuromuscular field that many organizations, institutions, companies, and individuals are undertaking with an invitation to become a member of the new TREAT-NMD Alliance.
