IGOS Coordinating Centre Attends Peripheral Nerve Society Conference in Montreal

July 22, 2024 - Last June, 14 representatives from the Erasmus MC Neuromuscular Research Group attended the Peripheral Nerve Society conference in Montreal, Canada. This group included eight researchers from the IGOS Coordinating Centre, along with many other researchers from the IGOS consortium. 

We are pleased to reflect on a highly productive and insightful meeting. The IGOS Coordinating Centre delivered several presentations on topics such as electrodiagnostic subtyping, genome-wide association studies, and guideline updates in Guillain-Barré Syndrome. In addition to these presentations, we presented seven posters covering a range of subjects, including biomarkers, patient-reported outcome measures, and comparative effectiveness research.

During the conference, we also hosted an IGOS meeting, inviting all IGOS country coordinators. This meeting facilitated discussions on various important topics, such as this new website, the GBS coordinating hub (About • GBS (tghn.org)) and procedures for project applications.

Overall, we look back on a very successful meeting and are excited about the future outcomes of the projects presented.
