Patient Workshop 2024

Argonaute Syndromes Patient Workshop, August 23-25, Copenhagen, Denmark

Family and scientists who attended the first Argonautes and the first Argonaute syndrome conferences

The 2nd International Argonaute Syndrome Patient Workshop will bring together patient families, world-leading Argonaute researchers, clinicians and industry representatives in Copenhagen, Denmark, in August 2024.

The aim is to further advance the understanding and treatment of rare AGO1 and AGO2 syndromes and help affected families to provide the best possible care for their children.

The workshop takes place from Friday August 23 to Sunday 25 and will be a satellite of the preceding 2nd Scientific Meeting on Argonaute Proteins "The Argonautes", hosted by Prof. Brodersen. The event will follow a similar format as in 2022, on which you can read more here.
