The unique, week-long course follows a potential therapy’s complete journey from ‘bench to bedside’. Attendees who successfully complete this course will leave with a comprehensive ‘second to none’ understanding of the processes, principles and concepts involved, as well as a distinct advantage when working in the area of clinical trials. Registration is €500 and there is still time to apply via the website. | TREAT-NMD's 6th International Conference 2019 Location: Leiden, the Netherlands The TREAT-NMD Alliance is pleased to announce that its next international conference will be held in Leiden, the Netherlands in 2019. The conference will provide an engaging platform for clinical specialists, academics, patients and carers, advocacy organisations and Industry professionals, to share progress and lessons learned in the area of translational medicine in inherited neuromuscular diseases and plan for the delivery of future therapies to patients. Further details, including dates and venue, will be released via the conference website in due course. | 16th ENCALS Meeting June 20–22, 2018 | Oxford, UK The 16th European Network to Cure ALS (ENCALS) meeting will be held in Oxford this month and will welcome scientists and clinicians who are working to find a cure for ALS/MND. Members of the JND Editorial Board will also be in attendance.
