2024 Summer Conference | Summer Conference Patient Presentation Stage Date Saturday 07/20/24 Time 11:30 AM - 12:15 PM EDT Add To Calendar Location Hilton Atlanta | Grand Ballroom Event Type Event Description Living with Rare Neuroimmune Conditions: Patient Views & Perspectives Please join Sumaira Ahmed, NMOSD patient and founder of The Sumaira Foundation, for a panel discussion featuring five patients living with rare neuroimmune conditions. Patient perspectives and lived experiences are essential to guiding R&D efforts and generating real-world evidence for therapeutic advances. This is especially true for rare diseases such as NMOSD, MOGAD, autoimmune encephalitis and stiff person syndrome. Yet far too often, the voices of patients are overlooked, marginalized or excluded. This is an opportunity to hear directly from a diverse group of patients living with these disorders who are also actively advocating for their communities.
