The International Society for Mannosidosis & Related Diseases (ISMRD) is proud to announce the 2nd International Conference on Glycoprotein & Related Storage Diseases in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, July 26-28, 2007.
This exciting event will continue the successful strides made at focusing on Glycoprotein Storage Diseases on an International platform. The purpose of this event is to recognize progress in research/clinical science in these nine diseases and to foster and provide opportunites for collaboration among Lysosomal Diseases around the world. ISMRD's primary mission has always been two-fold: to support families throughout the world affected by a Glycoprotein & Related Storage Disease, and to promote opportunities to further scientific and clinical understanding of the underlying mechanisms resulting in these diseases. In our
view, the ultra-orphan nature of these disorders requires a synergy
between both aspects of this mission if therapies and treatments
are ever to occur.
Funding for this conference was made possible (in part) by NS060583 from National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the Office of Rare Diseases (ORD). The views expressed in written conference materials or publications and by speakers and moderators do not necessarily reflect the official policies of the Department of Health and Human Services; nor does mention by trade names, commercial practices, or organizations imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.
