Subject: The George Karpati Symposium on Neuromuscular Disease - May 10, 2010


Dear Colleague,

To honor the memory of noted neurologist and physician-scientist George Karpati, the Montreal Neurological Institute of McGill University has organized The George Karpati Symposium on Neuromuscular Disease: Innovation and Application. This cutting-edge international scientific conference, addressing muscular dystrophies, myopathies and channelopathies, and neurodegeneration, is a tribute to George's lifelong enthusiasm for research and clinical advances.

The symposium, to take place on Monday May 10, 2010 at the Montreal Neurological Institute, will bring together leaders in the field of neuromuscular disease to present results and perspectives on research and treatment. Confirmed speakers are Valerie Askanas, Stanley Appel, Andrew Engel, W. King Engel, Kevin Flanigan, R.C. Griggs, Hanns Lochmuller, Guy Rouleau, and Eric Shoubridge.

The symposium follows The Ottawa Conference on New Directions in Biology and Disease of Skeletal Muscle (May 5-8, 2010) for the convenience of those who might wish to attend both events.

The symposium's full day of scientific presentations will be followed by a banquet dinner in the evening at which friends and colleagues may share memories of George and his numerous contributions to the field.

Registration for the Karpati Symposium is required but is free of charge. CME credits may be available. Symposium banquet tickets may be purchased for $130 per person. For more information and to register, see http://neuroevents.mcgill.ca/
We hope to see you there!

Le Symposium George Karpati sur la maladie neuromusculaire - 10 mai 2010

Afin d'honorer la mémoire de l'éminent neurologue et médecin-chercheur George Karpati, l'Institut neurologique de Montréal de l'Université McGill a organisé le Symposium George Karpati sur la maladie neuromusculaire : Innovation et application. Cette conférence scientifique internationale de pointe, qui traitera de dystrophies musculaires, de myopathies, de dysfonctionnements des canaux ioniques (channelopathies) et de neurodégénérescence, rend hommage à l'enthousiasme qu'a toujours manifesté le Dr Karpati pour la recherche et les avancées cliniques.

Le symposium, qui aura lieu le lundi 10 mai 2010 à l'Institut neurologique de Montréal, réunira des chefs de file du domaine de la maladie neuromusculaire qui présenteront les résultats et les perspectives en matière de recherche et de traitement. Les conférenciers confirmés sont Valerie Askanas, Stanley Appel, Andrew Engel, W. King Engel, Kevin Flanigan, R.C. Griggs, Hanns Lochmuller, Guy Rouleau et Eric Shoubridge.

Le symposium suivra la Ottawa Conference on New Directions in Biology and Disease of Skeletal Muscle [Conférence d'Ottawa sur les nouvelles directions en biologie et maladie du muscle squelettique] (5-8 mai 2010) pour rendre service à ceux qui voudraient assister aux deux événements.

L'inscription au symposium est nécessaire, mais gratuite. Il pourrait être possible d'obtenir des crédits de formation médicale continue. Les collègues et amis peuvent se procurer des billets pour le banquet du symposium du 10 mai au coût de 130 $ par personne. Pour tout renseignement et s'inscrire, consulter http://neuroevents.mcgill.ca/
