MDA's Community Education and Research Teams are proud to present a new series of webinars that provide timely, transparent, and accessible communication about scientific advances, clinical trials, and MDA-supported research.
This will be an opportunity for meaningful connection between researchers and the MDA community. Our first webinar, Spotlight on New Research, will take place on January 21, 2026 and will feature three MDA grant recipients who will join us to discuss their recent research efforts in the neuromuscular disease space.
Speakers will share insights into their work and its potential impact on individuals and families affected by neuromuscular disease.
We hope you’ll join us for this engaging conversation as we highlight the science that is driving progress across neuromuscular disease research!
