HD Research Webinars Series

In an effort to increase research communication between HD families/patients and the HD Scientists around the world, HDSA offers the HD Research Webinar Series, a series of monthly webinars on current research topics presented by HD experts from around the globe. The webinars commence at 12:00 PM EST and run for approximately 30-40 minutes, with 20-30 minutes available for a question and answer session through a chat feature of the webinar software. Each session will end by 1:00 PM EST. We chose this time to allow you to participate in this over your lunch hour, making this a virtual luncheon seminar.
