Uncomplicating research for the HD Community
On November 12th 2022, the European Huntington Association / Moving Forward team in collaboration with AVAEH – Asociación Valenciana de Enfermedad de Huntington and the Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria La Fe held the 2nd Moving Forward meeting in Spain. This event was focused on HD research, since this was the main topic people said they wanted to hear about in future events. we were able to bring together a fantastic group of Spanish clinicians and researchers who are completely committed to providing the best care possible to HD families and to finding effective therapeutic options for those impacted by HD, and here are the videos of their presentations.
