IZN Scientific Events IZN Retreat 2019

Genetics of neurological diseases: from mutations to personalized medicine

Attendees of the IZN Retreat 2019 had the opportunity to hear from speakers about the influences of genetics on diseases of the nervous systems and how an understanding of the genetic underpinnings of disease might lead us towards the development of personalized therapeutics.
