Important Deadlines for Ottawa NMD 2023
The Ottawa International Conference on Neuromuscular Disease and Biology (Ottawa NMD 2023) deadline for discounted early-bird registration and abstract submission is June 30th!
The Ottawa NMD 2023 Conference will feature top international basic and clinical neuromuscular (NMD) researchers highlighting advances in neuromuscular disease research and clinical care, including novel diagnostic techniques, disease pathogenesis, basic muscle and stem cell biology, and promising therapies to treat these devastating disorders. Sessions will be organized to include basic, translational and clinical presentations to engage all attendees, regardless of background or training. New for this year are more clinical sessions and Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits!
Please visit the Ottawa NMD 2023 website for the latest information about the conference including updates to the confirmed speaker list.
