About the Meeting

As part of our ongoing effort to promote Communication, Advocacy, Research, and Education, cureCADASIL will host a half-day Patient-Investigator Meeting held in conjunction with the United Leukodystrophy Foundation (ULF) Scientific Symposium and Family Conference.

We invite CADASIL patients, families, friends, and caregivers to join us to learn about the recent progress being made toward CADASIL therapeutics, and updates on the research studies actively recruiting volunteers that will help get us there.

There will be opportunities to talk with our clinicians and researchers, and we encourage everyone to ask questions about CADASIL and the progress toward therapeutics in a welcoming, informal setting.

About the ULF Scientific Symposium & Family Conference

An annual event where affected families can access the world's top Leukodystrophy physicians and researchers outside of the restrictions of insurance and the hospital setting. Held over two days, the Conference aims to provide the latest scientific information to keep families informed on advances in the field and guide families on topics that will improve their overall quality of life while living with a leukodystrophy.

The Conference is geared toward the whole family: affected individuals, parents and caregivers, spouses, siblings, extended family, friends, and anyone in their support network.

The cureCADASIL Patient-Investigator Meeting is made possible in part by grant 2022-316712 from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative DAF, an advised fund of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.

Thank you to the United Leukodystrophy Foundation for sponsoring this event and supporting our efforts to connect with the CADASIL community.
