We are pleased to announce the 2010 FRAXA Investigators Meeting to be held May 2-5, 2010 at The New England Center in Durham, NH. This year’s theme is Fragile X: From Basic Neuroscience to Improved Clinical Care. The goal of this meeting is to gather fragile X researchers in an intimate setting to share ideas to find and implement viable treatments for Fragile X Syndrome.

The attendees at this meeting will be current or past FRAXA-sponsored researchers and other interested scientists who have expertise related to fragile X. An important goal of the conference will be maximal involvement of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows; workshops and poster sessions will facilitate presentation of research findings by young scientists. The program will begin on Sunday, May 2nd, with a welcome dinner and introductory speakers. This will be followed by 2 full days of presentations and breakout sessions/focused workshops on Monday and Tuesday, and a half day on Wednesday. A farewell luncheon will conclude the event on Wednesday, May 5th.
