17th symposium in Berlin

Wonderful meeting of the TWS family

The Tom Wahlig foundation is very pleased about the successful 17th symposium that took place in Berlin on March 16th. Almost 80 scientists, students and HSP patients from 13 countries came together to discuss about recent research results that were presented under the title "Hereditary Spastic Paraplegias and related disorders: Update on research concepts and on therapeutic strategies". For the first time, junior scientists and students were invited to contribute posters. This opportunity was well accepted and finally four of 26 attendees won the poster prize of 300 Euros. Also, the three winners of the 2018 funding round presented their projects in short talks.
