While we cannot gather in person this year, we look forward to enjoying a great virtual evening with you.
The evening will feature Dr. Francis Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health. Researchers from Novartis, Roche, uniQure and Wave Life Sciences will provide an update on current clinical trials on Huntington's disease and what to expect in the coming year. We will hear about new cutting-edge research from the recipients of our Leslie Gehry Brenner Prize for Innovation in Science and the first Nancy S. Wexler Young Investigator Prize.
Join us to lift a glass from your location to toast the brilliant science that is changing the face of Huntington's disease!
The Hereditary Disease Foundation Gala & Symposium 2020 is open to all free of charge.
