Here is what participants in Team Telomere’s previous scientific convenings have said:

“All my prior contact with [TBD] families had been through their samples, genomic data, or stories shared by the physicians who see them in the clinic. This was the first time that I had the chance to talk with them in person, get to know how this condition really impacts their lives, and get a perspective that you do not get from a lab.It was also a great opportunity to touch base with a lot of the big names in the field, and we have already organized several follow up zoom calls to discuss collaborations and share resources.”

“[An] immense sense of collaboration. It’s absolutely incredible to see that in person.” 

“Great scientific content and an opportunity to connect with colleagues!” 

“[I] was very impressed … by the sense of community and genuine care and intellectual curiosity that everyone projected. I really hope that together we can find better treatments and can reach to all the patients/providers and caregivers that need us.”

“The variety of subjects discussed and range of expertise was impressive. Overall, I left… feeling optimistic about the direction the field is headed and with plenty of new ideas to investigate.” 

Following the 2024 Scientific Summit, 100% of participants found the content relevant to their work and reported they would apply the knowledge gained to their clinical practice or research.

We look forward to seeing you at the Team Telomere 2025 Micro Meeting!
