In January 2020 approximately 500 world opinion leaders, academics, practitioners, and patient representatives will meet in London for four days to share state-of-the-art knowledge on epidermolysis bullosa (EB). As this is the first time that such a comprehensive gathering will come together, it presents an exciting and unique opportunity for companies to get involved and sponsor the event. Together we can do more!
We are excited to have Abeona’s support for the 1st Global Congress on EB! Read below to find out more about our much appreciated sponsor:
