ALS Conference Old

2nd-intl-conference-als-mnd

This two day on-site International Conference is perhaps the first conference dedicated to ALS and MND research. Last year, due to COVID-19 situation, we had virtual session, which was jointly held with NIMHANS and IndoUSrare and had speakers from India, USA, and Europe. This year we bring together practicing neurologist (MND clinicians), researchers from around the world to share new understanding of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and motor neurone disease.

The key to finding a cure for MND lies in fostering strong collaboration between clinicians and leading researchers and research institutions around the world, and sharing new understanding of the disease as rapidly as possible. Some of the speakers at this conference are on the threshold of finding a cure for this disease. We are proud to have been able to identify such eminent speakers to make this conference, on the World MND day, an unique experience to all the attendees.

The event will take place at the NIMHANS Convention Center, Hosur Road, Near Bangalore Milk Dairy, Bengaluru, 560029.
