The first of it’s kind, a meeting of European scientists working on C9orf72 FTD/ALS co-organised by Adrian and Dieter Edbauer (DZNE, Munich), aiming to encourage new collaborations. This was a fantastic meeting with all speakers presenting unpublished data and it helped encourage the sharing of resources and new collaborations, significantly strengthening the C9orf72 European research community. Keep an eye out for the next meeting coming Jan 2020 hosted by the Isaacs Lab in London.
