SUMMARY:Gene Therapy Webinar Series: Episode 8 – Genetic therapies and therapy developments for ALS
DESCRIPTION:Dr Vázquez Costa has a  MD in Neurology (2012) and PhD in motor neuron diseases (2019). Since 2013 he is devoted to the care of motor neuron disease patients and in 2020 he was granted a Juan Rodés excellence contract from the Carlos III Health Institute\, to coordinate the motor neuron disease unit at Hospital la Fe. He also co-chairs the ALS Genetic Spanish consortium (ALSGESCO) and is member of the Spanish research network for rare diseases (CIBERER). This unit is a referral Spanish and European centre for the treatment and research in ALS and SMA\, and participates in the European Network to Cure ALS (ENCALS) and the TRICALS consortium. Dr Vázquez Costa has participated in more than 20 research projects and in more than 30 clinical trials in both ALS and SMA\, and has published more than 80 articles in indexed journals in neuromuscular diseases. He has carried out research stays at the Psychiatry department of the Universitätsklinikum in Freiburg (Germany) and at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging in Boston (USA) and has collaborated and collaborates with researchers from numerous research institutes and universities. Since November 2019 he is an associate professor of neurology at the University of Valencia.

SUMMARY:Hidden in Plain Sight: Autosomal Dominant Tubulointerstitial Kidney Disease
DESCRIPTION:C-Path’s Rare and Orphan Disease Programs is excited to have Dr. Anthony Bleyer present their June webinar\, “Hidden in Plain Sight: Autosomal Dominant Tubulointerstitial Kidney Disease (ADTKD).” Dr. Bleyer is a Professor of Internal Medicine/Nephrology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine\, with adjunct appointments at the Broad Institute of Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, and the Institute for Inherited Metabolic Disorders at Charles University\, Czech Republic. \nDr. Bleyer led the team that identified mutations in the UMOD gene as a cause of ADTKD and has been leading the Wake Forest Rare Inherited Kidney Disease team for the last 25 years. His presentation will cover the genetics of ADTKD\, its biology and mechanisms\, a description of the Wake Forest registry\, and unmet drug development needs. \nJoin C-Path for this valuable opportunity to gain insights from an expert in the field.

SUMMARY:6th Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) Drug Development Forum
DESCRIPTION:The Drug Development Forum (DDF) brings together biotech and pharmaceutical companies\, academic researchers and clinician scientists to collaborate and advance Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) research. It’s an opportunity to discuss emerging FOP data and highlight gaps in our understanding of FOP disease pathogenesis that could offer new therapeutic options. The June 2024 event offers both in-person and virtual attendance options. Due to the content being shared\, only FOP family members who are invited to speak or are members of the International Presidents’ Council or IFOPA’s Research Committee may register. \nWith the first-ever treatment for FOP approved in select countries and five active FOP clinical trials\, there is still an abundance of preclinical research with the potential to be translated into safe and effective new medicines. Molecules advancing drug discovery\, advanced therapeutic modalities and new technologies must continually be explored for their potential to treat understudied signs and symptoms of FOP.
