Come to the Action Duchenne Science on Tour FREE event in the historic city of Derry.

Why?

We know that keeping up with the research news can be challenging in Duchenne. We also know that lots of news stories and press releases use language that’s much more complicated than it could be!

What?

To help families understand the research and clinical trials process we’ve launched a series of ‘Duchenne science on tour’ events. Unlike science lessons in schools, these sessions will be informal and interactive – with lots of opportunities to ask questions. We’ll be using real science demonstrations and experiments to talk about some of the challenges facing researchers in Duchenne and how researchers can overcome those challenges.

Research Q&A

There will be time set aside for a research Q&A session where we will answer all your questions about Duchenne research including gene editing, gene therapy and exon skipping.

Who?

Each event will led by Neil, our Head of Research, who will be touring 20 locations across the UK.

With only 20 attendees, the sessions will be intimate and we hope that as well as gaining vital information and education, you will also take away new friendships and support in each other.

What to expect?

• Presenter-led and interactive science demonstrations.
• Hands on activities
• Overview of scientific approaches being taken in Duchenne trials and research
• An informal setting
• Opportunity to ask lots of questions

Spaces are limited! You can sign up below, but if you can’t make it this time, keep a look out for future Action Duchenne Science Schools across the UK.

*As we will be discussing in-depth, scientific subjects, we recommend that although children are, of course, welcome, these sessions are most appropriate for adults.
