The Transverse Myelitis Association in conjunction with
Johns Hopkins' Project RESTORE present:
The 3rd International Rare Neuroimmunologic Disorders Symposium

July 16 - 19, 2008

We are coming back to Seattle! Our last symposium in Seattle was held in 1999. We made history in 1999. Dr. Douglas Kerr made his first appearance at our meetings and announced his specialization in TM and the establishment of the TM Center at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Brian Weinshenker made his first public presentation of the results from his ground breaking plasma exchange research. It was the first large gathering of the TMA membership.

The Transverse Myelitis Association and the Johns Hopkins Project RESTORE (the TM and MS Centers) are co-sponsoring the 2008 Rare Neuroimmunologic Disorders Symposium. The symposium is for people who have TM, MS, ADEM, NMO and ON, their family members and the medical professionals who provide clinical care to people with these disorders.

The symposium is an educational and networking opportunity for people who have the neuroimmunologic conditions and their caregivers, for the medical professionals who provide treatment to this rare disease population, as well as scientists and physicians who are performing research in rehabilitative and restorative therapies.
