Event description

The Sanfilippo Children’s Foundation is excited to host the 2022 Solving Sanfilippo Symposium.

The Symposium will bring together Australian researchers, clinicians and their collaborators working on Sanfilippo syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type III) and related conditions and disease mechanisms to share results, progress and emerging directions. 

Time will also be dedicated to discussion of the recently launched Global Roadmap for Sanfilippo Therapeutics with the goal to develop and prioritise initiatives around the Australian contribution to implementing this Roadmap within the international context. 

The Symposium sessions also reflect the research pillars of the Roadmap with Australian and international speakers addressing these key themes: 

STOP - treating the root cause of Sanfilippo, including gene therapy, substrate reduction therapy and chaperones

TREAT - targeting the underlying pathology of Sanfilippo, including neuroinflammation, autophagy, protein aggregates and biomarkers

MANAGE - targeting the symptoms and impact of Sanfilippo on individuals and families.
