Symposium Program
On behalf of the Ataxia Charlevoix- Saguenay Foundation and on my personal behalf, I would like to invite you to the 8th International Symposium on ARSACS, a dynamic gathering of leading researchers, clinicians, and innovators committed to advancing the frontiers of ARSACS research. I hope to see you there!
This year’s conference will offer an exceptional opportunity to discover the emerging trends in ARSACS research, share insights, and foster new collaborations.
The Symposium program is currently in the early stages of development and is being shaped with the valuable collaboration of Dr. A. Watt from McGill University. We encourage you to visit the Foundation website regularly for exciting updates.
