Great to see our member Melissa Bowerman engaging with the SMA community to share research updates and exchange important topics for individuals living with SMA and their families!
This weekend I had the honour of attending the SMA UK's Big Weekend: Forty & Forward to update families on current pre-clinical research priorities in SMA. Clinical trials, exercise, newborn screening, access to education, sex & relationships were also discussed, showing there is still a lot to do!
