Registration Now Open for February 9 Virtual Research Roundtable
Research Roundtables hosted by The Michael J. Fox Foundation in various locations across the country bring patients and caregivers the latest news, advances and breakthroughs in PD research from the world’s top neuroscientists. Starting on Monday, February 9, a series of three 2009 Research Roundtables will be Webcast live to allow even more individuals to hear from our expert panel and submit their own questions on PD and the state of research toward a cure. Register now!
The February 9 Virtual Roundtable will be Webcast live from Atlanta, Georgia. The program will feature MJFF Co-Founder Deborah W. Brooks and Vice President of Research Programs Todd Sherer, PhD. During Q&A, audience questions (both from attendees in the room and in the Webcast audience) will be addressed by MJFF’s chief scientific advisor, Eugene Johnson, PhD; senior medical advisor, Irene Hegeman Richard, MD; and Executive Scientific Advisory Board member Susan Bressman, MD.
Log on at 6 p.m. (U.S. ET) on Monday, February 9, to view the presentation and submit your own questions to our panelists. If you cannot join us in real time, a recording will be available on our Web site shortly after the event. Either way, you’ll hear the latest PD news from our world-class research staff and scientific advisors.
Virtual Roundtables also will be Webcast in June and November. (Detailed date and time information will be posted on the MJFF website). We look forward to having you join us for one or all!
Virtual Roundtables are made possible by a generous lead gift from Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
