| From Labs to Lives | Wednesday 25th February 2026 8pm | The journey of developing more effective treatments for CMN in the UK. We will be discussing the process of turning a potential new treatment for CMN, from a discovery in the lab to something that’s available to patients here in the UK. The knowledge gained for this presentation is through consultation with other patient support groups who have already walked the journey of developing a potential treatment and the pitfalls they have experienced, which we can learn from. We’ll talk about how to manage expectations along the way because hope needs to be paired with realism. |
