WELCOME
We are happy to summarize the third international symposium for researchers and clinicians on Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome which took place in Munich Germany. During the event we were discussing the latest research and analysis related to this rare disease.
36 participants from 14 countries were discussing innovative perspectives in both basic and clinical research. The scientific programme which was followed successfully includes advances in clinical practice, novel therapeutic approaches and new insights into stem-cell and cellular therapies. we had a great Gene Therapy expert panel discussing the future of this technology and how can the participants help overcoming the current drawback in the commercial plans for making this technology available for WAS patients.
You can find a short event summary with 2 page summary of each presentation on our Event summary page.
