Colleagues,

 

The 2008 Francis L McNaughton Lecture will be delivered on Friday,
November 28, 2008 at 9 am in the Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre by
Professor .Katherine Bushby of Newcastle upon Tyne UK. Dr. Bushby is a
world class clinical geneticist with widely recognized expertise in the
neuromuscular field. She has established genotype- phenotype
correlations in many neuromuscular diseases including the limb girdle
dystrophies which will be the focus of her McNaughton Lecture. Professor
Bushby has established a renowned Neuromuscular Center in Newcastle upon
Tyne which is a worthy successor to a similar center created in the
1960's by Lord Walton. Dr. Bushby has also created a large, unique Group
of 21 European Centers of Excellence in Neuromuscular Diseases called
TREAT-MND. It is supported by the European Union as it is an
unparalleled establishment that coordinates scientific, clinical and
translational research in the European neuromuscular field.

Limb girdle dystrophies is a field of genetic diseases that greatly
benefitted from the application of molecular science to clinical
medicine.Dr. Bushby is eminently qualified to discuss this important and
fascinating field of Neurology to which she has made outstanding
contributions. Do not miss this treat.
