We are delighted to announce that the report from the Children’s Tumor Foundation 2011 Neurofibromatosis Conference has been published in the November 16th issue of the scientific journal Acta Neuropathologica.
Held in Jackson Hole, WY in June, the 2011 NF Conference was our biggest to date attracting over 300 international NF researchers and clinicians. We thank the Conference Co-Chairs Dr. Nancy Ratner (Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center) and Dr. Michel Kalamarides (Hopital Beaujon, Paris) for their leadership in both the Conference and the publication.
This marks the third year in a row for publishing the NF Conference report in a scientific journal. The 2009 and 2010 NF Conference reports were published in the American Journal of Medical Genetics. The goal of these publications is to inform and update the broader research and clinical community on the exciting progress being made in NF research and to encourage more persons to focus on NF research.
The 2012 NF Conference takes place June 9-12, 2012 in New Orleans, LA. Look for more announcements soon!
