Strength, Science, and Stories of Inspiration 2013

Myotonic fellow Dr. Eric Wang and colleagues Albert Almada and Sharif Bordbar are all top-notch researchers studying neuromuscular diseases at MIT and Harvard - and they all have family members living with muscular dystrophy. Thanks to Albert, Eric, and Sharif, scientists from MIT and Harvard, along with colleagues from across industry, joined together for a casino night with stakeholders in the muscular dystrophy community.

This benefit was dedicated to raising awareness of neuromuscular disease and forging new partnerships to accelerate development of treatment options. Albert, Eric, and Sharis secured $19,000 in sponsorships from leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms, and the event netted $22,319! Proceeds from the evening jointly benefited Myotonic and the Muscular Dystrophy Association, to support research and patient care services.
