Abstract
The 6th Ottawa International Conference in Neuromuscular Disease and Biology was held on September 7-9, 2023 in Ottawa, Canada. The goal of the conference was to assemble international experts in fundamental science, translational medicine and clinical neuromuscular disease research. Speakers provided attendees with updates on a wide range of topics related to neuromuscular disease and biology, including methods to identify novel diseases, recent developments in muscle, motor neuron and stem cell biology, expanded disease pathogenesis of known diseases, and exciting advances in therapy development. A summary of the major topics and results presented by these speakers is provided.
