The retreat will bring together researchers and clinicians from Carle and the University of Illinois to exchange ideas and foster collaborations around conditions such as neuromuscular disorders, movement disorders, connective tissue disorders, stroke, metabolic disease and orthopedics.
Our goals are to create opportunities for new collaborations, align research with clinical needs and position our community for new funding opportunities. The event will include a working lunch, breakout sessions, and conclude with a poster session and reception.
