Events
33rd BSCB GenSoc UK Cilia Network e-symposium
Date: 19 October 2021 Time: 15:00 - 17:15
It is a year exactly until our EMBO Cilia meeting is finally due to meet in person again in Cologne with our patient-based events kicking off the meeting! To mark this occasion, we are running this amazing place-holder session to bring together patients and patient advocacy groups to our researchers, something that has been missing from these e-symposia we normally run. It is the perfect opportunity to share some exciting translation which is that much closer to clinic than what our important basic science can often feel like, one gene, one cilia measurement at a time!
The aim of this one-off session is to highlight what challenges and opportunities there are for PCD, PKD and BBS patients specifically, but perhaps in common to for the ciliopathies in general. We hope to encourage and inspire researchers to be more engaged with patient support groups beyond just closing statements on funding grants.
