Join us in London for #MeetAndGRI
CureGRIN is coming to a city near you! We are so excited to roll out our 2023 Family Meet-up Series, Meet and GRI, that brings together families, industry, researchers and clinicians! Our hope is for these family meet ups to provide GRI families a better understanding of GRI Science and the path to treatments and cures, provide an avenue for GRI families to connect with other local GRI families to exchange and discover new ideas to help their GRI loved ones and promote collaboration among researchers, clinicians, industry and the GRI community.
The venue is the Institute of Education, Bedford Way (20), Rm W3.01., London WC1H 0AL
There are two ways into the building, one of them is preferred both for accessibility and convenience.
