Changing the Conversation Through Research: 1st June 2022
Changing the Conversation Through Research: 1st June 2022
At the Euan MacDonald Centre for Motor Neuron Disease Research, we believe that answers for MND will come through research. We want to use research to change the conversations that people diagnosed with MND have with their neurologist.
We would like to invite you to find out about what we are doing in our labs and clinics across Scotland right now, and to share our positivity for the future. Please join Euan MacDonald Centre researchers who will each give short presentations on a whirlwind tour through our research, and then answer your questions.
