Celebrating 15 Years of TACT: A Milestone Event in Boston
October 31
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the TREAT-NMD Advisory committee for therapeutics (TACT). TACT was set up in 2009 by Prof. Volker Straub and Kate Bushby to provide the neuromuscular community with a unique drug development resource. The aim is to give transparent and consistent guidance to the neuromuscular research community in order to advance the treatment of neuromuscular diseases more effectively. Each year the committee meets in the spring and the autumn, and a bespoke panel is assembled to review up to four applications for advice from organisations developing treatments in NMD.The symposium is designed for industry professionals involved in developing treatments for rare neuromuscular diseases and offers a unique opportunity to learn from past mistakes, engage with leading experts, and gain valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities within the field. Attendees can expect interactive sessions and ample opportunities to pose questions to the speakers, fostering meaningful dialogue and knowledge exchange.
