The Neuromuscular Disease Network for Canada (NMD4C) and Muscular Dystrophy Canada (MDC) are pleased to invite you to a CPD-accredited webinar on muscle stem cells.

This webinar is primarily targeted at Canadian clinicians, academics, and trainees with an interest in neuromuscular disease.

Speakers & Learning Objectives:
Dr. Michael Rudnicki: Muscle stem cell dysfunction in DMD

Dr. Penney Gilbert: Pre-clinical culture models of human neuromuscular disorders

Dr. Marine Theret: Muscle stem cell behaviour is regulated by extrinsic cues

Moderator:
Dr. Natasha Chang

Learning Objectives:

• Gain insight into the role played by muscle stem cells in the pathophysiology of neuromuscular disease.
• Understand the approaches that can be undertaken to alleviate muscle stem cell dysfunction in DMD.
• Learn about next-generation humanized skeletal muscle culture models
• Gain awareness of the advantages and limitations of 3D culture models
• Skeletal muscle repair is a coordinated system with multiple players
• Muscle stem cell fate is entangled in the well-behaviour of other cells

NMD4C and MDC are providing organizational and technical support. This is a clinical/academic webinar series supported by Sanofi-Genzyme; There is no involvement and influence from the industry on program content.

The NMD Rounds & Educational Webinars is a self-approved group learning activity (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
