SUMMARY:Can-GARD/CCMG – The Leading Strand Series
DESCRIPTION:This series is for genetics health professionals led by the Canadian College of Medical Genetics and co-sponsored by Can-GARD. Speakers will be translation-focused researchers\, clinicians and innovators.  The series will help attendees anticipate\, access\, and apply new approaches and technologies for patient care. \nNew \nAs of March 2024\, the Can-GARD/CCMG Leading Strand Series is a self-approved group learning activity (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification program of The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. \nNote\, to obtain credit for this CPD activity\, you must keep track of the seminars attended.  An easy way to do this is to download and save the certificate for each seminar attended which is available through the evaluation link sent after the seminar to attendees.  A letter at the end of the year will NOT be sent. \n \n  \n  \nGenetic Medicine For Rare Neurogenetic Disease \nIn this presentation\, I will summarize the current state of the field of genetic medicine approaches for neurogenetic disease. I will focus on gene therapy\, and talk about its advantages and challenges. \nLearning objectives: \n\nIdentify the benefits and challenges of gene therapy for neurogenetic disease.\nAssess the emerging genetic medicine approaches for treating neurogenetic conditions.\n\nSpeaker:\nDr. Jim Dowling \nBio \nDr. Jim Dowling is a staff clinician and senior scientist at the Hospital for Sick Children and a Professor of Paediatrics and Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto. He is also the Mogford Campbell Family Chair of Paediatric Neuroscience. Dr. Dowling received his BSc and MSc from Yale University\, his MD/PhD from the University of Chicago\, and did his residency in child neurology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. \nDr. Dowling’s clinical expertise is in childhood neurogenetic disorders. His research examines questions of disease pathogenesis and therapy development for congenital muscle diseases. In addition to his research program\, he currently serves as board chair of TREAT NMD\, as an executive board member of the World Muscle Society\, and as the pediatric lead of the NMD4C pan-Canadian neuromuscular network. He was recently honored to receive the Researcher of the Year Award from Muscular Dystrophy Canada. \nFriday\, September 29\, 2023\nFriday\, October 27\, 2023 – cancelled\nFriday\, November 24\, 2023\nFriday\, December 15\, 2023 @ 12:30pm – 1:30pm ET\nFriday\, January 26\, 2024\nFriday\, February 23\, 2024\nFriday\, March 22\, 2024\nFriday\, April 26\, 2024\nFriday\, May 31\, 2024\nFriday\, June 28\, 2024
