MDC Webinar: Rapid Research Rounds | Muscular Dystrophy Canada 2020 Neuromuscular Conference
Rapid Research Rounds
This session is an introduction to the 12 latest MDC funded research awardees. The projects span from early discovery, translational and clinical research as well as address critical gaps in Canada’s ecosystem. All of these projects were selected through competitive medical and scientific peer review process and have recently started. You will hear introductions to these projects, get to know the people behind the research and hear about the impact that donations raised by our neuromuscular community have on research.
