Int’l Research Congress

Home / Int’l Research Congress
2023 IRC Web banner

The FSHD Society’s annual FSHD International Research Congress is the premier global conference exclusively focused on facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) research. 

World renowned clinicians, medical researchers, pharmaceutical industry leaders and basic scientists present and discuss new developments, reinforce collaborative efforts, facilitate new initiatives, and coordinate research and clinical activities. With the recent advances in FSHD research and clinical advances, this conference has become catalytic in translating ideas into potential therapies. Our 2022 congress drew over 200 attendees and 27 industry partners.

Plans for the 2023 International Research Congress in Milan, Italy are underway. Mark your calendars for June 15-16, 2023!
